Proposed merge from Audience effect

[edit]

I just proposed that Audience effect be merged into this article. Any thoughts welcome. --Waldir talk 22:01, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The audience effect isn't only about social facilitation, which is the tendency for people to do better on simple tasks when in the presence of other people. The audience effect either causes people to do worse or better due to the person wanting to exhibit a good image or due to pressure. It's not always facilitative; it can be inhibitive. The merge is unnecessary, so I removed the tags. - M0rphzone (talk) 01:40, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge -There is little stated opposition to this and what little there is is three, almost four years out of date. The article for social facilitation now contains information on both positive and negative effects so that argument is irrelevant. JoshBM16 (talk) 04:17, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

I am an undergraduate student in a seminar class that is working on creating Wikipedia pages for the first time.One of our assignments was find an article and offer suggestions or comments on what improvements can be made. I think it is great that you give examples of different components that have an impact on Social Facilitation. However, I was a little confused with the structure of your article. It appears that some of the different approaches that you mention affecting Social Facilitation contradict one another. A suggestion would be to reorganize some of your subsections.
