Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Psychology project will likely have less social loafing because the group is made up of friends, which can lead to increased motivation to not let each other down and to maintain positive group relationships. The Sociology project involves working with unfamiliar classmates, which can lead to less accountability and motivation to perform well.
