Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled. Can you think of an example in which having an audience could improve performance? One common example is sports. Skilled basketball players will be...

Eye tracking has long been used to study gaze patterns in typically-developing individuals, but recent technological advancements have made its use with clinical populations, including autism, more feasible. While eye-tracking young children with autism can offer insight into early symptom manifestations, it involves methodological challenges. Suggestions for best practices are provided.
FAQs
Evaluation apprehension makes the possibility of being judged psychologically relevant, even when observers provide no direct feedback. That concern can redirect attention toward how one appears, alter effort, and influence performance. In behavioral research, this mechanism helps explain why observation alone may change a person’s communication, decisions, or task behavior.
The outcome depends partly on whether the response is already well learned or still unfamiliar and difficult. Audience presence may strengthen an established response through social facilitation, whereas social inhibition can interfere with performance that requires new learning or substantial effort. This distinction connects audience effects to differences in task demands.
Audience salience can shift attention toward the social situation and increase the effort a person directs toward performance or impression management. Those changes do not produce a single behavioral outcome: they may support effective, familiar responses or compete with the attention needed for difficult behavior. Researchers therefore examine both social awareness and task conditions.
Behavioral studies can assess changes in communication, decision-making, risk-taking, and task performance when other people are present. These outcomes show that audience effects extend beyond formal performance tasks. Comparing how social awareness relates to different forms of behavior can clarify the broader influence of context on individual action.
The concept provides a way to examine how awareness of observation shapes behavior during social interaction. It can help researchers connect audience effects with conformity and impression management, because people may modify what they communicate or do when their conduct is socially visible. This perspective treats group settings as behaviorally influential contexts rather than neutral backgrounds.
Audience salience helps researchers interpret performance changes as socially situated rather than purely individual. Studies of human performance can ask whether observation strengthens familiar responses or disrupts unfamiliar and difficult tasks, while also considering related changes in effort and attention. The resulting analysis links performance outcomes to the psychological prominence of the audience.
