Question

Kwan really doesn't feel like riding the stationary bicycle today, but he doesn't want the people around him to think he is a slacker. If he decides to continue exercising, what concept might explain his actions?

a. social loafing
b. social idleness
c. social facilitation
d. social productivity

Answer 1

c. Social facilitation

Step-by-step explanation:

People tend to perform better when they have an audience or when they are been watched. The concept of social facilitation believes that when somebody perceives that he/she is been watched when performing a task he/she gives better performance. A musician or an athlete might put up the personal best when there is an audience.

Kwan perceived that people around him might consider him a slacker, he continued to ride the stationary bicycle to prove otherwise. The illustration agrees with social facilitation.
