What’s on the Social Facilitation poster

- Well-learnt, simple task = Performance improves
- Novel, complex task = Performance worsens

- Who is the Social Facilitation poster for?
- Social Facilitation belongs to the Psychology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning social can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Social Facilitation poster?
- Arousal strengthens the dominant response. Whether that helps depends on the task. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Social Facilitation belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Social Facilitation?
- Helping Behaviour, Attitudes & Behaviour and Attribution sit alongside Social Facilitation in the Psychology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Helping BehaviourAttitudes & BehaviourAttribution
- Is the Social Facilitation poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Social Facilitation downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Psychology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Social Facilitation poster print at?
- Social Facilitation is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Social Facilitation loses nothing.Printing guide
