Answer: The term is Social Facilitation which denotes that the mere presence of other people in your environment affects your overall behavior.

Explanation: Social facilitation can be explained as an improvement or change in the performance of an individual due to mere presence of other individuals. Further, it can be categorized into two types:

1. Co-action effect: It is a phenomenon where the mere presence of others doing the same task tends to increase task performance of a person.

2. Audience effect: It is a phenomenon where performance of a person increases in the presence of a passive spectators/audience.
