    The correct answer is deindividuation.

    Deindividuation refers to the phenomenon in which belonging to a group makes individual memebers lose their self-awareness and sense of personal responsibility. Individuals belonging to a group get "swept up" in the group's activities and collective behavior, which in turn leads them to behave in a manner that is uncharacteristic and not typical of their general behaviors and values. Payton's yelling and cursing appears to result from deindividuation.
