Abstract:

The "big hit" is glorified in professional ice hockey. But body checking is unnecessary for the quality of the game and demonstrably dangerous for most amateur players at the youth, high school, and college levels.

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.
