| Tiivistelmä: | The autors examined how stereotypic information about teammates influences social loafing and compensation during collective tasks. In each experiment, participants, performed better on cognitive tasks when there was a poor fit between the stereotypic strengths of their partner and the requirements of the task. This pattern occurred whether participants used gender stereotypes or occupational stereotypes and occurred even when participants only anticipated working on a collective task. In one experiment the pattern occurred only in the collective (not in the coactive) condition, providing direct evidence for social loafing. Together, these results suggest that people use stereotypes to tune their motivation to optimize the ratio of their own individual effort to the team's expected output. |
