A new study explores why we're stronger and faster when someone is watching
"In 1969, University of Michigan psychologist Robert Zajonc published a study showing that cockroaches were able to sprint more quickly if other cockroaches were watching from the sidelines, but did worse at a maze-learning task when they had an audience.
It was an intriguing cross-species demonstration of the nuanced way our performance responds to the presence of others, echoing similar results for simple versus complex tasks in humans. It was also a reminder that the effects of social facilitation run deeper than simply getting psyched up or overthinking things, neither of which cockroaches are prone to doing."
