Question 2
Dr. Acula has assigned a group project to his students. Although the group will get one grade for all members, students are required to first spend one hour in the coffeehouse simply getting to know one another, create a list of what each member's contributions will be, and sign their name to that list so that Dr. Acula can later award or retract bonus points for each individual member. Under these circumstances, how likely is it that social loafing will occur?
◦ Not likely; Dr. Acula has put in place all the appropriate constraints to reduce social loafing.
◦ Somewhat likely; Dr. Acula is missing one key component to reduce social loafing.
◦ Very likely; research evidence identifies different safety measures against social loafing than what's here.
◦ Extremely likely; social loafing is a robust phenomenon that is nearly impossible to overcome.
