Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manny is participating in speed dating, which involves individuals meeting potential romantic partners for a brief period of time before moving on to the next person. This is a common format for matchmaking events. Social facilitation refers to improved performance in the presence of others, social scripts refer to predetermined patterns of behavior in social situations, and the bystander effect refers to the phenomenon of individuals being less likely to intervene in an emergency situation when others are present. None of these concepts accurately describe Manny's situation at the matchmaking event.
