Why are people in online computer gaming forums or Internet chatrooms more likely to speak in an aggressive or derogatory manner to other users than they would be when communicating with someone face-to-face?

▸ Because everyone else in the room usually does that, and they are yielding to the effects of normative conformity

▸ Because they usually know how to sever their connection before they can be identified by the person they are insulting

▸ Because they know that the people playing the same games or frequenting the same forums will understand that they are just kidding

▸ Because they experience the deindividuation that is afforded by anonymity
