ELI5: Why do hostages of ISIS seem so cooprative if they know they're going to die?

What is the psychology behind a captive acting subdued?

I would think that if it was me and I was going to be beheaded I would be a right asshole. Probably starting with pissing and shitting my pants and attempting to cover myself in that as much as possible.

Depending on circumstances, perhaps run so they kill me fleeing by gunshot... Hopefully.

But who knows how I would act? Not me.

I heard something along the lines of that they do the speech almost everyday, but arn't killed. Soon they start thinking "it's just another day" and then they get killed.

~~Probably bullshit though.~~
