A series of recent events of incivility and bad behavior in Philadelphia led Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky to ask "what creates the urban, anti-social savage?" "One factor involved is a sort of disinhibition that I seem to discern in our culture," says Temple psychologist Frank Farley. "What I mean is a weakening of impulse control that we're more willing to express ourselves, less willing to inhibit that expression in a wide range of contexts." In our culture, growing numbers express emotion, positive and negative, and fall victim to "social facilitation," which is ugly mass behavior associated with sporting events, Farley said.
