PSYB10H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 12: Fishing Reel, Groupthink, Cockroach
Document Summary
Psyb10 chapter 12 - groups. Triplett effect of other peoples" presence on human performance. The response a person is most likely to make in the hierarchy of responses. Mere presence of others, tends to facilitate performance on simple or well- learned tasks, but it hinders performance on difficult or novel tasks. People"s concern about how they appear in the eyes of others that is, about being evaluated. Being evaluated as ether bad or good. Triplett"s study = 40 children. Task = turn a fishing reel as fast as possible. The child did it on six trials with breaks in the middle. 3 trials = child was alone. 3 trials = child was with another child. Results = child turned the reel faster when another child was present and doing the same thing. 2 boxes (1 with simple maze 1 with complex maze) Light was shone in the mazes. And the prediction came true. How to evaluate = needs 3 conditions.
