cyberdisinhibition

Noun. (psychology, Internet) The disinhibition of the expression of negative emotional impulses ''via'' on-line interactive media owing to the impalpability of others’ emotional responses — which would normally have a tempering effect on one’s behaviour — arising from the unembodied, artifical nature of such media of interaction.
