role self awareness

• Private self awareness- how we pay attention to our own feelings and behaviour

  which is reduced in a crowd because attention is focused on the events around us less on our own beliefs and feelings.

  thus self-critical of our own behaviour contributing to the deindividuation →increasing aggression
• Public self awareness- how much we care about what others think of our behaviour.

  reduced in a crowd realise we are one of many, care less about how we are judged, this feeling of anonymity leaves you feeling deindividuated and increases aggression
