Social facilitation refers to the tendency for people to perform better on simple tasks and worse on complex tasks when they are in the presence of others and their individual performance can be evaluated. In Chloe's case, the presence of her friends may be causing her to feel more comfortable and relaxed, which could lead her to eat more food. Additionally, the social pressure to conform to the group norm of eating may also be contributing to her increased eating habits.
