Social Loafing• Social loafing occurs when persons are performing a task as

part of a group and individual effort cannot be identified. Because all members of the group are pooling their effort to achieve a common goal, each member of the group contributes less than they would if they were individually responsible.

• This situation can be seen where Herbert played a role as part of the group but he plans to slack and that can be consider as a social loafing because his individual effort cannot be identified.

BIRGing"Basking in Reflected Glory"• Feeling good by identifying with others who are successful• BIRGing in the story is when Shankar joined a group full

with people who have knowledge about rowing and that made him feeling good being with these kind of people. He joined them practicing every weekend to sharpen up their technique.

Stereotype• A stereotype assumes that all members of a group share

some common feature• Shankar joined the rowing group because he thought that

all the members shared the same ambition like him. He does not notice that one member, named Herbert does not take the rowing competition seriously and make them lost the competition.

The Primacy effect• The first piece of information we receive will have the most

impact on our impression• The primacy effect occurs when Herbert accidentally saw

their opponents weakness and they’re weak, this first piece of information leave a huge impact on him and his team when he told the information he gets to all his team mates.

The Frustration-Aggression

Hypothesis• Frustration occurs when something prevents us from

enjoying an expected reward• Aggression is usually directed at the cause of the

interference • This concept is used in the last of the story when they all

upset and blaming Herbert for their lost.
