Theories of deindividuation predict that the formation of a group serves to decrease the inhibitions of the constituent members and increase the probability of aggression in situations where the group must compete, or interact, with nongroup members. This prediction is tested in a real-world confrontation situation-that of police on patrol. It was hypothesized that the level of violence individual officers encounter in the performance of specific activities will vary according to the nature of the activity and the degree of anxiety associated with that activity, the number of officers present, and the number of civilian bystanders. The data of the study provide support for each of these predictions and demonstrate the extent to which social psychological theory can provide useful insights into day-to-day behaviors. |
