Book Description

A 1993 study of social facilitation, the oldest topic in social psychology. Bernard Guerin reviews all the research on how the presence of one person affects the behaviour of another from the first study in 1898. He looks at both human and animal research and develops his own theory, based on modern behaviour analysis.
