DEF

Diminution de l'activité des membres d'un groupe liée à leur co-présence.

CONT

Le phénomène de paresse sociale [...] se comprend comme une tendance à la diminution des efforts individuels en situation groupale. [...] Ce phénomène semble résulter de pertes de motivation [...] Les psychosociologues ont suggéré que la diffusion de la responsabilité entre les membres d'un groupe et le manque de confiance entre eux, corrélatif à cette diminution de la responsabilité individuelle, produit ce fléchissement de la motivation.
