Social facilitation occurs when the presence of others leads to increased arousal and enhances the performance on simple tasks but can impair performance on complex tasks due to concerns about being evaluated. Social loafing describes the phenomenon where individuals exert less effort when working in a group than when working alone, often because the presence of others diffuses the sense of individual responsibility.
