After students wearing face paint tore down the goalposts following a stunning win, the school’s principal banned students from football games. Which of the following explains the problem with this policy and proposes a better alternative?
The principal’s policy is not effective because group polarization tends to happen when groups of like-minded people discuss shared beliefs. The principal should instead instruct students to sit with their families rather than in a separate student section.
The principal’s policy is not effective because deindividuation tends to happen when anonymous people lose self-restraint. The principal should ban the use of face paint for all students rather than banning students from games.
The principal’s policy is not effective because groupthink tends to happen when people want to keep the peace and don’t consider alternative solutions. The principal should ensure that everyone discusses a behavioral plan before the game with a behavioral expert.
The principal’s policy is not effective because social facilitation tends to happen when people perform simple tasks better in front of other people. The principal should ask everyone to watch the games online rather than attending the games in person.
