SOCIAL FACILITATION

• Social facilitation occurs when people are performing (well-learned performances) in the presence of others, yet their individual contributions can clearly be identified.

• E.g. Ah Boon’s downside is his inability to shoot precisely but he is great in passing.

STEREOTYPING

• A stereotype assumes that all members of a group share some common feature

• E.g. Ah Boon, being the only Chinese in the team full of Indians and Malays causing the rest of the team stereotyping him as someone who doesn’t know how to play football

SITUATIONAL ATTRIBUTIONS

• Assuming that the cause of an action is due to external/environmental factors

• E.g. Ah Boon’s performance dropped drastically because this is his first match and there are a lot pressure on him.

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING

• Watching others (models) engage in behaviors and then repeating those actions

• E.g. Ah Boon and the rest of the team watches how the captain engages in playing the game, thus, encouraging them to more confident in themselves and perform better

SELF-EFFICACY

• Your belief in your ability to achieve certain goals

• E.g. Ah Boon and the team became more confident after seeing the effort the captain is giving in. Therefore, they believed in themselves and they performed confidently leading them towards the goal, winning the game.
