Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social loafing is the phenomenon where individuals tend to put in less effort when working collectively towards a task as compared to when working on the same task alone. This is because individuals in a group tend to feel that their individual efforts will not be noticed or appreciated as much, and therefore they tend to free-ride on the efforts of others. Clapping, cheering or rope pulling are all examples of tasks that can be done collectively and where social loafing tendencies may be observed.
