Some of them worked alone, and was told their personal results will be recorded. Others worked as groups and was told their team results will be recorded. After the test, researchers took the average score of the people who worked as groups . The result shows that people working alone peeled a lot more potatoes than those worked as groups. Because people work harder when being held responsible directly.
