This behavior aligns with conformity, which is the tendency to adjust one's behavior or beliefs to match group norms. Deindividuation involves loss of self - awareness in groups, group polarization is the strengthening of group opinions, and group facilitation refers to enhanced performance in the presence of others, none of which match this scenario.
