Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deindividuation refers to the loss of self-awareness and self-restraint in group situations where individuals feel anonymous and less accountable for their actions. This can occur during riots, large sporting events, or mob actions where individuals feel they can act without consequences. Normative social influence refers to the influence of the group's norms and values on an individual's behavior, social facilitation refers to an individual's improved performance in the presence of others, and social loafing refers to the tendency for individuals to exert less effort when working in a group than when working alone. None of these fully capture the phenomenon of losing self-awareness and self-restraint during group behavior.
