The Presence of Others: Social Facilitation & Social Loafing (Intro Psych Tutorial

www.psychexamreview.com
In this video I discuss how the presence of others can influence performance. I begin with social facilitation, studied by Norman Triplett in 1898, which suggests that the additional arousal caused by the presence of others can improve performance on simple or well-learned tasks. I also discuss social loafing, which refers to the reduction of individual efforts when people are working in a group and when individual efforts are difficult to discern.

What about not only "additional arousal" but it gives us point of comparison? What is to overcome.. and in certain circumstances has a positive effect and in other a negative. All depends how self confident the subject is.
