Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Explanation: Greater performance diversity creates greater social loafing the longer a group is together, which decreases satisfaction and performance. Recent research indicates that social loafing can also be counteracted by publicly posting individual performance ratings for group members, too.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: B) Reference groups are groups in which a person is aware of other members, defines himself or herself as a member or would like to be a member, and feels group members are significant to him or her.
