Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "undie run" is an example of collective behavior, which refers to spontaneous and unstructured behavior of a large group of people. The behavior is not planned, nor does it follow established norms. In this case, the behavior was a response to the stress of finals and was not organized by any official or established group.
