Question; ***A group of prisoner's has been assigned to dig a large hole in the desert together***

Answer: The psychology principle that best explains this situation is known as SOCIAL LOAFING.

Explanation: Social loafing is a psychological concept that people/ an individual will put very little effort to perform a task when they are working in a group than when they are working alone. This is a major cause of inefficiency in the workplace. One sure-fire method of preventing social loafing is keeping a small team and assigning specific duties to team members.
