Rebecca Saxe and her colleagues conducted an experiment on morals and social habits. The most important conclusions are the following:

When people gather in large groups, there is a possibility that both good and bad things may happen. Although a group may have good intentions (on social, political, or other aspects), there is always a possibility that this group may harm those outside the group. Saxe states that a person individually can express a certain morality and values but, when being in a group, those could be set aside. The individual could even end up doing things that contradict what he/she personally thinks. This can be explained because in this group, the individual experiences anonymity and feels no need to take responsibility for the group's actions. The hypothesis of the research argues that when an individual enters a group, they can be ignore their individual and moral beliefs, being prone to participate in activities that they might consider arguable if they were not part of it.
