Answer 1

Answer:

It improves performance on easy tasks and hinders a person's performance on difficult tasks

Explanation:

The social facilitation effect simply describes the changes in a person's behavior when being observed. According to this effect, the performance of an individual is improved in the presence of an observer when performing an easy task and approval is expected. On the other hand, the presence of an observer may hurt the performance of an individual if the task is difficult or if there is an expectation for the observer to disapprove of us.
