“…Social loafing was also identified as operating at a variety of levels although more examples were presented at the lower levels of sport, in agreement with previous handball based work [12]. An interesting point was made by two of the basketball respondents who considered that in basketball games the speed and fluid nature rendered opportunities to loaf rare.…”

“…The inclusion of the identified themes was principally based on the quantitative measures previously outlined. For example: Selfloafing [12]; Social loafing in others (Perceived Social Loafing Questionnaire, [14]); The impact on the team effort and performance (Anticipated Lower Effort Questionnaire [16], and author identified theme); Strategic rest [14]. All participants were encouraged to elaborate on the answers given and to, where possible, give specific examples allowing each athlete to richly describe their experience of social loafing in both the training and competition scenarios.…”

“…We used the Norwegian versions of the PMCSQ, GEQ, PSLQ, and SRSLQ. The results of those scales proved to be valid and reliable in previous research with university team sport players (i.e., PMCSQ), junior male football players (i.e., GEQ), and top level female handball players (i.e., PSLQ and SRSLQ) (Roberts & Ommundsen, 1996;Høigaard et al, 2006Høigaard et al, , 2010De Backer et al, 2011). Furthermore, the perceived justice and the team identification items were back-translated by two native-speaking Norwegian researchers.…”

“…Social loafing was measured by two questionnaires: the Perceived Social Loafing Questionnaire (PSLQ; Høigaard et al, 2006;Høigaard & Ommundsen, 2007;Høigaard et al, 2010) and the Self-Reported Social Loafing Questionnaire (SRSLQ; Høigaard et al, 2010). Scores of both scales were reliable and valid within a sample of top-level Norwegian athletes (Høigaard et al, 2010). These questionnaires were back-translated by two native-speaking Dutch experts.…”

The present research aimed to develop and test a theoretical model that links players' perceived justice of the coach to a more optimal motivational climate, which in turn increases players' team identification and cohesion, and results in lower levels of social loafing in female sport teams. Belgian elite female basketball, volleyball, and football players (study 1; N = 259; M(age) = 22.6) and Norwegian world-class female handball players (study 2; N = 110; M(age) = 22.8) completed questionnaires assessing players' perceived justice (distributive and procedural), motivational climate, team identification, team cohesion (task and social), and social loafing (perceived and self-reported). In both studies, confirmatory and exploratory path analyses indicated that perceived justice was positively related to a mastery climate (P < 0.05) and negatively to a performance climate (P < 0.05). In turn, a mastery climate was linked to increased levels of team identification (P < 0.05) and task cohesion (P < 0.05). Consequently, players' perceived and self-reported social loafing decreased (P < 0.05). The findings of both independent studies demonstrated the impact of coaches' fairness, and consequently, the motivational climate created by the coach on the optimal functioning of female sport teams.

“…For example, Høigaard (2010) developed the Perceived Social Loafing Questionnaire (PSLQ) to enable athletes to quantify their perception of social loafing in their teammates. Also, Høigaard et al (2010) developed the Self-Reported Social Loafing Questionnaire (SRSLQ) to measure athletes' perception of their own magnitude of social loafing. However, these measures cannot be used to predict individual performance in a group task and this significantly undermines their application in real-life settings.…”

Social loafing has been defined as a phenomenon in which people exhibit a sizable decrease in individual effort when performing in groups as compared to when they perform alone, and has been regarded as a state variable. In this study, we instead conceptualized social loafing as a habitual response, given that many people have been found to be susceptible to social loafing in group tasks. We developed the self-reported Social Loafing Tendency Questionnaire (SLTQ) to measure individual variations in social loafing. In Study 1, the reliability and validity of the SLTQ were established in a sample of college students. In Study 2, SLTQ scores significantly negatively predicted individual performance in the group task condition, but not in the individual task condition. Social loafing can also be considered a trait variable, as it was found to modulate group dynamics when it was activated in a typical situation (i.e., being in a group).
