Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deindividuation is the phenomenon where individuals lose their sense of individual identity and personal responsibility in a group setting. This can lead to a disregard for personal moral values and an increased tendency to engage in behaviors that the individual would not normally engage in. In a mob situation, individuals may feel that they are anonymous and that their actions are not being attributed to them personally, which can contribute to deindividuation.
