www.psychexamreview.com In this video I describe how crowds can encourage behaviors that individuals might not engage in alone. Part of the explanation for the emergence of behaviors like looting, theft, destruction, and violence in crowds in deindividuation. Deindividuation refers to a reduced feeling of individuality and a reduced sense of responsibility for one's actions. Physical anonymity can increase feelings of deindividuation and encourage transgressions that are less likely to occur when identified and alone, as demonstrated by Diener et al's observation of children trick-or-treating on Halloween.
