What is “deindividuation”?
  1. Taking out your aggressions
  2. Reinventing yourself
  3. Temporarily suspending your normal identity
  4. Going completely berserk
Explanation
Answer: C - Deindividuation occurs when individuals temporarily suspend their normal identity in a group setting. You get caught up in the group action and go along with things you would never do on your own. An individual becomes less aware of his own values and becomes more sensitive to the group’s actions and desires. Think of gang activities such as the actions of the Ku Klux Klan.
