Answer to Question 1

Answer: Deindividuation is the process of losing one's sense of personal identity, which makes it easier to behave in ways inconsistent with one's normal values. Wearing Halloween costumes, especially those that cover the face and hide one's identity, can enhance deindividuation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Social facilitation is the process through which the mere presence of others increases the likelihood of dominant responses, leading to better performance on well-mastered tasks and poorer performance on unmastered tasks.
