According to research on the relation between norms and deindividuation, individuals are more likely to conform to group norms when they feel anonymous and are in a large group. Being caught in a crowd of rowdy fans storming the turf at the end of a game is a situation in which Tom is likely to feel anonymous and may be more likely to conform to the norm of the prototypical rowdy soccer fan. Option A is unlikely to lead to deindividuation, as Tom is not in a large group of people. Option B may lead to deindividuation, but the presence of the jumbotron may make Tom feel more self-aware and less likely to conform to group norms. Option D may be similar to option C, but Tom's role as a physical trainer may make him feel more self-aware and less likely to conform to the norm.
