Human Behaviour: Social Cues and Anonymity

“Typically when social context cues are strong behaviour tends to be relatively other-focused, differentiated, and controlled.

When social context cues are weak, people’s feelings of anonymity tend to produce relatively self-centered and unregulated behavior.”

Sproull and Kiesler (1986, p.1495)
