Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both risky shift and social loafing involve a decrease in individual accountability. In risky shift, individuals are more likely to take risks in a group setting because they feel less responsible for the outcomes of their decisions. In social loafing, individuals may slack off or contribute less effort in a group setting because they feel less accountable for the overall performance of the group. Neither of these phenomena necessarily involve taking chances or an increase in physical arousal.
