Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the principle of social loafing, when people are in a larger group, they tend to feel less accountable and therefore may not put in as much effort as when they are in a smaller group. Therefore, it is more likely that the individuals in teams of two will work harder to win as they will feel more accountable for their actions and may feel a greater sense of motivation to contribute to the success of the team.
