Document Summary
Social facilitation: presence of others enhances performances: original research (tripplet): studied bike racing. Cyclists cycled faster in groups than individually: other investigations: kids winding fishing reels. When multiple kids were doing the task, they wound the reel faster. No(cid:374) hu(cid:373)a(cid:374)s: (cid:272)hi(cid:272)ke(cid:374)s eat faster a(cid:374)d eat (cid:373)ore if there"s a group: refinements and problems. Presence of con-specific others (members of your own species) facilitates performance. Quantity is facilitated, but quality is not. If it"s a (cid:272)o(cid:373)ple(cid:454) task, people do (cid:449)orse if people are (cid:449)at(cid:272)hi(cid:374)g. New definition of social facilitation: the presence of others enhances the. People exert less effort when the efforts are combined than when the efforts are considered individually. Ex: pulling a two-wheeled cart/ clapping and cheering (people instructed to clap and cheer. They cheered less when they thought they were in a group of people clapping and cheering) Pulling rope, generating uses for objects, group projects. When do people loaf: whe(cid:374) efforts (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:374)ot (cid:271)e ide(cid:374)tified.
