Social psychology research has revealed that other people can encourage us to do something we would not have done on our own, and they can inhibit us from doing something that we would have done on our own. One example of this is social loafing. Define social loafing and describe two examples of situations when individuals do NOT engage in social loafing
What will be an ideal response?
Social loafing is the tendency to "loaf" (or work less hard) when sharing work with other people. Examples of when people do NOT engage in social loafing include team sports, because observers, including teammates, watch your performance; and working in groups if someone expects other people to notice their effort or if they think they can contribute something that other group members cannot.
