Question

Social loafing

a. declines as group size increases.
b. develops when a perception of inequity in regard to rewards and/or blame arises in a group.
c. is relatively rare within groups.
d. is more frequent in the united states.

Answer 1

Social loafing is a phrase used to refer to the concept that people tend to exert less effort when performing a task by group rather than doing it alone. The idea of grouping people together is pooling the talents and skills of individuals.

From the given choices, the answer would be the first choice.

Answer 2

(B) is the most correct answer. When some people are seen as receiving all the rewards and others may not receive as much, there tends to be people who will do less for the group. They feel that their inputs are not valued as much and, as such, are not as necessary for the completion of the project or task.
