James and Mike are asked to shoot free throws in front of a large audience in a gym. Generalizing from the research of Robert Zajonc, one would expect ____________________ due to social facilitation.

Deindividuation is most likely to occur in which of the following situations?

Stanley Milgram’s research on obedience:

In class, we discussed the ‘blindfold study’ regarding social facilitation in which participants were required to perform a task while either a blindfolded or non-blindfolded confederate was in the room.
