Deindividuation and Group Behavior
6
Flashcards
0/6
Group Size
The larger the group, the greater the deindividuation effect, potentially leading to a greater disconnect of individual behavior from personal norms.
Diffusion of Responsibility
Individuals in a group may feel less personally responsible for group actions, leading to behavior they might not engage in alone.
Altering Environmental Cues
Changes in environmental factors such as lighting or uniformity can influence deindividuation by reducing self-awareness and increasing responsiveness to group behaviors.
Altered Consciousness
States of altered consciousness, due to factors like alcohol or drugs, can fuel deindividuation and lead to behavior that diverges from the norm.
Heightened Emotion
Strong emotions, often amplified by group dynamics, can override personal controls and lead to deindividuated behavior.
Anonymity within Groups
Anonymity reduces individuals' accountability and increases the likelihood of acting against personal or social norms.
