Topic 6 DQ 2

Topic 6 DQ 2 Offer three examples from your own life, when you experienced social facilitation, social loafing, and deindividuation in a group setting. I can’t say that I completely understand the meaning of social facilitation but from my understanding I would have to say that I do better in groups when I am learning things. I am more of a hands-on person and having people there to walk me through things and show me the ropes is a huge benefit to myself and my work. But there are also downsides as well with groups when it comes to my schooling. I prefer to do things on my own because I am afraid it isn’t going to get done right or someone will slack off and I will be punished for it. I am learning how to better trust my peers in our group projects and make sure that I do the best that I can on my portion of the assignments and hope for the best. Does that pertain to social loafing? As for deindividuation I guess everyone goes through this. When I am with my friends, we get drunk and rowdy and have a good ole time, but when I am not with them, I do not drink, and I am more laid back. I can’t say that we have done anything bad while in our group as some of the examples state, but we do act crazier then normal and just kind of let ourselves be free from fear of being judged.
