What factors elicit deindividuation?



Two factors that elicit deindividuation are Physical anonymity & Diminished Self-Awareness

1. Physical anonymity also plays a role. Uniforms are often used in teams or work settings to depersonalize individuals. This is why Ku Klux Klan members wear hoods. They do this to protect their otherwise normal reputation while they're engaging in aberrant and racist behaviours (see module 15).

It is important to note that often seemingly minor actions usually precede aggressive and violent outbursts. There is self-reinforcing pleasure in acting impulsively when observing others doing likewise. For example what might start as simply one parent yelling at a hockey official, can lead to threats of assault after the game (see Referees fear abuse from parents for an example). These types of events have resulted in new rules about how parents can behave at Junior hockey games.

2. Diminished self-awareness

It is important to understand that once deindividuation begins, people who are deindividuated are:
√ Less restrained

√ Less self-regulated

√ More likely to act without thinking about their own values

√ More responsive to the situation

What is JAD and how are users involved? What are advantages and disadvantages of JAD? Joint application development, is a popular fact finding technique that brings users into the development process as active participants. Users have a vital stake in the information system, and should participate fully in the development process. They are/should be involved at every stage of development. Advantages : Users can participate effectively in the requirements modeling stage. More accurate statement of systems requirements, better understanding of common goals and stronger commitment to success of the new project Disadvantages : More expensive, can be cumbersome if the group is too large for the project.

A laboratory assistant prepared solution of 0.8 M, 0.6 M, 0.4 M, and 0.2 M sucrose, but forgot to label them. After realizing the error, the assistant randomly labeled the flasks containing these four unknown solutions as flask A, flask B, flask C, and flask D.

A laboratory assistant prepared solution of 0.8 M, 0.6 M, 0.4 M, and 0.2 M sucrose, but forgot to label them. After realizing the error, the assistant randomly labeled the flasks containing these four unknown solutions as flask A, flask B, flask C, and flask D. Design an experiment, based on the principles of diffusion and osmosis, that the assistant could use to determine which of the flasks contains each of the four unknown solutions. Include in your answer (a) a description of how you would set up and perform the experiment: (b) the results you would expect from your experiments: and (c) an explanation of those results based on the principles involved. (Be sure to clearly state the principles addressed in your discussion.)
