Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deindividuation is a psychological phenomenon where individuals lose their sense of identity and become part of a group. This often leads to a decrease in self-awareness and an increase in impulsive or aggressive behavior. Costumes that conceal the face, such as the masked witch, are more likely to lead to deindividuation and therefore worse behavior. Costumes that represent authority, such as the police, may also increase the likelihood of aggressive behavior due to a perceived sense of power. Therefore, the best choice would be a costume that does not conceal the face and does not represent authority, such as the nurse or the masked superhero. However, out of the given choices, the worst behavior is likely to come from the masked witch.
