True

Explanation:

Why do people seem to behave differently when they're part of a crowd? According to psychologists, one reason is that people can experience a state known as deindividuation.

Deindividuation is the idea that when in groups, people act differently than they would as individuals. Because of the anonymity that groups provide, psychologists have found that people can even act in impulsive or antisocial ways when they're part of a crowd.
