Which statement is false regarding Zajonc's model of social facilitation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zajonc's model of social facilitation focuses on the mere presence of an audience affecting performance, not necessarily requiring interaction with the audience. The model suggests that the presence of others increases arousal, which can enhance the performance of well-learned tasks (dominant responses) but may impair performance on complex or new tasks. It is grounded in drive theory, suggesting that the presence of others serves as a source of arousal that enhances the likelihood of the dominant response. The key aspect is the non-interactive presence of others, rather than their active engagement or interaction with the individual performing the task.
