Every Halloween, Mrs. Augustin puts a bowl of candy on her porch with a sign that says, "Take one." This year the bowl was empty after just a few minutes, leading Mrs. Augustin to believe that one group of children took more than their fair share. To discourage such dishonest actions, Mrs. Augustin positioned a mirror above the candy bowl, which should work because.

The answer is b.

Explanation:

Deindividuation occurs when a person loses his sense self-awareness in a group. Some studies have shown that the presence of mirrors is likely to reverse this effect.

Possible causes for this behaviour have been linked to diffusion of responsability. This is, in a group a person may believe the responsability is shared by the other members.
