Diener Et Al

Multiple Choice

Diener et al. (1976) studied the behaviour of children on Halloween. In a series of focal homes, children were warmly invited into the houses and told that they could take one piece of candy from a bowl on a table. It was found that children who remained anonymous were more likely to take extra pieces of candy compared to children who disclosed their name and address to the homeowners. This finding can be attributed to:

A) deindividuation.
B) crowd behaviour.
C) greed.
D) the free-rider effect.
