Question

Karim’s art teacher observed that his paintings were much brighter and more intricate when he painted on his own. But in a group assignment on art, his efforts were much less and he did not use his creative skills to the fullest.

Name this social phenomenon displayed by Karim.

Answer 1

The social phenomenon displayed by Karim is called social loafing.

Explanation: When people work less hard in a group setting than they do alone, this is known as social loafing. Karim’s solo paintings were more colorful and detailed, but he contributed less and didn’t fully utilize his creativity during the group project - a indication of social loafing.
