Through the concept of social facilitation, we examine how the presence of others impacts individual performance. One text offers a general overview of social facilitation, including its definition, causes, and examples in various contexts. Another investigates the effect of a problem-based learning environment on nursing students' motivation, comparing it to conventional teaching methods. A further text focuses on how gender composition among co-actors influences the strength of the social facilitation effect, using experiments involving visual search and arithmetic tasks with EEG and cortisol measurements. Finally, additional texts discuss how social facilitation can either improve or hinder performance depending on factors such as task complexity and individual characteristics, and how personality traits such as extraversion and neuroticism moderate the social facilitation effect.
