Well, to continue, as I mentioned earlier, there is also research that demonstrates that individuals perform worse, not better on tasks when other people are there.

Social psychologist, John Roberts, finally cleared up the confusion about why people sometimes perform better and sometimes worse in front of an audience

The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.

Government's failure to perform this role in the early 1930s transformed recession into depression.

A supervisor's action toward a poorly performing worker can affect the attitudes of other employees.

Supervisors should acknowledge high performance so that the employee will continue to perform well in the future.
