social loafing

cohesiveness

small group interaction

groupthink

Answer 1

Option A.

• The concept of social loafing usually refers to the act in which a person contributes very less while performing a particular activity when he works in a group.
• When a person practices social loafing, he becomes too dependent on other members of the group and exerts very less effort when compared to other members of the group.
• Here In this scenario, Rafael has nothing left to do as most of the work was completed by his friends in the group. Hence this is an example of social loafing.
