Not necessarily all the same problem, though.

Bobbing = underdamped
Thumping = bottoming due to insufficient suspension travel OR really stiff damping
Bouncing = underdamped

Typical "lowering springs" on stock shocks will often cause all of the above. The spring rate is enough that they're underdamped on stock shocks, and they typically reduce ride height too much for the spring rate allowing the suspension to bottom out.
