Study Notes

Being with others can be motivating and encouraging when trying to achieve a goal
Example: forming a weight loss group with friends that met weekly for weigh-ins, swimming, and running together
Social support can lead to behavioral changes, such as eating less fatty food and exercising more

Socializing with others can be distracting and unproductive in certain situations
Example: a study group that spent more time chatting about teachers rather than focusing on the work
Discussing topics that one is already familiar with can be a waste of time in a group setting
In some cases, working alone can be more productive than working with others

Conclusion

The benefits of social support depend on the specific activity or goal being pursued
