Evaluation apprehension refers to a phenomenon where an individual's performance is influenced by their belief that others are evaluating them. This is different from social facilitation, which refers to an individual's tendency to perform better in the presence of others, regardless of whether they are being watched or not. Mere presence refers to the simple fact of another person being present, which can also affect behavior. Social loafing refers to an individual's tendency to put in less effort when working as part of a group, as compared to when working alone. None of the other options accurately describe the described behavior.
