(Psikoloji, Ruhbilim) Deindividuation, as described by Leon Festinger and colleagues in 1952, is the situation where anti-normative behavior is released in groups in which individuals are not seen or paid attention to as individuals. Simply put, deindividuation is immersion in a group to the point at which the individual ceases to be seen as such
Deindividuation is a state of lowered self-awareness, a temporary loss of personal identity resulting from becoming part of a group, such as an army or a mob, but it can also occur in situations wherein people feel anonymous. It can have very destructive effects, sometimes making people more likely to commit a crime (Diener, 1976), or leading policemen to use excessive force in an arrest. Deindividuation has been hypothesized as a major cause of rioting, such as the violent rioting occurred in the 1992 riots in south central Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Because people in a deindividuated mental state lose awareness of themselves, they ignore external evaluation of themselves by other people, and are unrestrained by their normal inhibitions. Deindividuation occurs when one loses one's social identity and behaves in a manner in which one usually would not behave (Nelson, 2005)
loss of self-awareness and evaluation apprehension; occurs in group situations that foster responsiveness to group norms, good or bad
A psychological state in which persons feel that they have lost their personal identities and have merged anonymously into a group Hypothesized to be the basis for the impulsive, aggressive behaviors sometimes shown by mobs and crowds
State in which people in a group can feel anonymous and unidentifiable and therefore feel less concerned with what others think of their behavior (p 606)
Loss of self-restraint that occurs under conditions of arousal, novelty, and anonymity
