Social Psychology 9th Edition by David Myers

Exercise 22

Triplett conducted one of social psychology's first laboratory experiments by asking children to wind string on a fishing reel. The results of the study indicated that there was a positive relationship between the speed at which the children wound the reel and the presence of other children. Later studies found the same pattern and dubbed it
A) the groupthink effect.
B) the social facilitation effect.
C) social loafing.
D) deindividuation.
