Humans may run faster, read less or type more quickly, simply
because someone else is present. The presence of one person affects
the behaviour of another: this is known as social facilitation and
is one of the oldest topics in social psychology. Despite its
importance this was the first book-length study of the phenomenon
when it was published in 1993. Dr Guerin reviewed all work in the
area from 1898 onwards, looking at both animal and human research,
and developed his own theory, based on modern behaviour analysis.
The book will be appreciated for its wide-ranging and balanced
review of previous work on social facilitation and for the general
review of the state of social psychology during the 1990s that Dr
Guerin's work on the phenomenon includes. The author's theoretical
stance is innovative and important, and will make the work required
reading.
