Humans may run faster, read less or type more quickly, simply because someone else is present. The presence of one person affects the behaviour of another: this is known as social facilitation and is one of the oldest topics in social psychology. Despite its importance this was the first book-length study of the phenomenon when it was published in 1993.

British Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 1973Drive theories of social facilitation typically assume that the presence of an audience is threatening or aversive.
