The Ringelmann Effect

Hello everyone. Today I am going to talk about The Ringelmann effect also known as social loafing. First of all, The Ringelmann effect is the tendency  individual members of a group to become less and less productive as the group  increases. Discovered by French agricultural engineer Maximilien Ringelmann (1861-1931), this effect illustrates the inverse relationship that exists between the size of a group and the extent of the group members’ individual contribution to the achievement of a task. I am also going to state my opinions opinions about the proverb which goes ‘If we don’t all row, the boat won’t go.’ I personally agree with The Ringelmann effect and not the proverb because I think when doing something If you add more people to help you the burden on each person will decrease. For example, you are going to build a wall that is made from a million bricks, the more people you add to build the wall, the brick number each person has to put decreases. This is my opinion on this matter, now lets look at some researched information and facts. While concentrating on the connection between process misfortune  and gathering efficiency, Ringelmann  found that having bunch individuals cooperate on an errand  really brings about fundamentally less exertion than when individual individuals are acting alone. Ringelmann found that as an ever increasing number of individuals are added to a gathering, the gathering frequently turns out to be progressively wasteful, eventually disregarding the thought that collective endeavor and group interest dependably prompts expanded exertion for the individuals. According to Ringelmann, groups do not reach their full potential because various interpersonal processes undermine their overall capacity. He identified two distinct processes as potential causes of decreased productivity in groups: loss of motivation and coordination problems. As you can see these are my thoughts and research on this topic. Thank you all for being here with me.
