Mullen's (1986) analysis of newspaper accounts revealed that the larger the lynch mob, the more savagely the mobs murdered their victims;
 
  Watson's (1973) cross-cultural study revealed that warriors wearing face or body paint were more likely to torture or kill captives than were warriors who wore no such war paint. These findings suggest that one reason why mobs often commit heinous acts is that the individuals involved
  a. feel anonymous and thus less accountable for their actions.
  b. experience a reduction in self-awareness and become more aware of their moral standards.
  c. become more self-aware and act on their feelings of rage and frustration.
  d. fall prey to social facilitation effects when they become aroused.

Question 2

Consider the following destructive acts: soccer fans bludgeoning one another, young people throwing rocks at police officers, and Klansmen lynching African Americans. All of these are examples of the dangerous effects of
 
  a. hysterical contagion.
  b. anti-social contagion.
  c. anti-social anonymity.
