  2. Mob Mentality • When people are part of a group, they often experience deindividuation, or a loss of self-awareness. In other words, they conform to group influence. • When people deindividuate, they are less likely to follow normal restraints and inhibitions and more likely to lose their sense of individual identity. • Groups can generate a sense of emotional excitement, which can lead to the provocation of behaviors that a person would not typically engage in if alone. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIh4MkcfJA
