Correct response as it is dominant
23
Evaluation apprehension explains that an audience is:

Emission of dominant response
25
Zajonc linked social facilitation to Hull's drive theory- the presence of others:
Results in an increase in drive or arousal level
26
Zajonc if the correct response is dominant, increased drive benefits performance. If it is incorrect then it:
Hinders performance
27
Baron's distraction-conflict theory states that:
If attentional focus is disrupted then they are disrupted from their task
Audience and evaluation apprehension can act as distraction
