Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is social facilitation?
Model answer
Social facilitation is an improvement in performance caused by others being present. The performer usually improves because arousal rises.
- 2
What is social inhibition?
Model answer
Social inhibition is a decline in performance caused by others being present. The decline often happens because arousal rises too far.
- 3
Give two positive effects an audience can have on a performer.
Model answer
An audience can raise arousal and motivation, so effort increases. A crowd can also boost confidence when a skill is well learned.
- 4
Give two negative effects an audience can have on a performer.
Model answer
An audience can raise anxiety and cause a performer to choke. Attention may shift to the crowd, so important cues are missed.
- 5
Who are passive others?
Model answer
Passive others are people present who do not compete against or respond to the performer. An audience and co-actors are passive others.
- 6
What is a co-actor?
Model answer
A co-actor is someone doing the same task at the same time without competing directly. Two cyclists training side by side are co-actors.
