    Deindividuation

    Explanation:

    Deindividuation: In social psychology, it is defined as the process of mislaying of self-awareness in a different group, even though this is considered as the resistance or disagreement situation.

    Example: A person with deindividuation can belong to groups like cults, gangs, military, and mobs.
