Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the process of deindividuation, when individuals are part of a large group, they may feel less accountable for their actions and may become more likely to engage in deviant or violent behavior. However, in groups led by individuals like Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, the group norm was nonviolence. This norm was emphasized by the leaders themselves, and members who violated this norm were often excluded from the group. Therefore, the group norm of nonviolence likely prevented violent behavior despite the process of deindividuation.
