Group processes (chapter 8) v group- two or more people who interact and are interdependent v social facilitation: study: norman triplett (1898) children winding up fishing line. Saw that the the fastest was actual races, followed up paced races against time and unpaced races against time. Suggests that people have an affect on speed. Asked children to wind up fishing line on a reel either by themselves or in the presences of others. Time was faster with people because competition stimulated and energized to do better. It is easier to do something that is simple with others but harder to do something complex and learn something new.
