Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deindividuation is the term used by psychologists to describe the sense of anonymity that often arises when people are in large groups, which can lead to a loss of self-awareness and a reduced sense of personal responsibility. This can make people more likely to engage in aggressive, destructive behavior, as they feel less accountable for their actions. The other options - avoidance, running amok, and antisocialization - do not accurately describe this phenomenon.
