Triplett conducted one of social psychology's first laboratory experiments by asking children to wind string on a fishing reel.
The results of the study indicated that there was a positive relationship between the speed at which the children wound the reel and the presence of other children. Later studies found the same pattern and dubbed it.A. the groupthink effect. B. the social facilitation effect.
C. social loang.
D. deindividuation.
Based on the scenario it can be said that the study that is being described has been officially given the name of the social facilitation effect. This effect is mainly defined as being the tendency of an individual to act or behave differently when there are others watching than when that individual is alone. This also affects how well the individual performs a certain task, usually performing better in front of a crowd if they have had lots of practice.
