Research studies on anonymity

Research studies on anonymity examine how protecting individuals' identities affects their behavior, decision-making, and honesty, especially in online or sensitive contexts. These studies explore whether anonymity encourages free expression or leads to negative behaviors like dishonesty or misconduct. Findings help understand when and how anonymity impacts social interactions, trust, and transparency. Overall, such research informs policies and technologies to balance privacy with accountability, ensuring environments are safe and respectful while respecting individuals' rights to remain anonymous.
