There is an effect called pressure against judgment. This is where stimuli accumulate in such a way that their combined effect causes you to act against your baseline good judgment.
See any group of adolescent males for examples.

HEY!!
actually, I understand this phenomena, i actually saw it at my school sometime last year, there are diving blocks at the pool used by swimmers, and we were jumping off of them having a good time, then someone went up and the rest started chanting "BELLY FLOP! BELLY FLOP! BELLY FLOP!" and then they did, against their better jugement.
Its kinda like idea behind peer pressure but slightly different.
