Audience Effect

The Audience Effect refers to how people's behavior changes when they know they are being watched. For example, someone might perform better on a task or behave more confidently in front of others, because they want to make a good impression. This phenomenon occurs because awareness of an audience can increase motivation, influence self-consciousness, or alter social pressure. The Audience Effect highlights the powerful impact of social environments on individual actions, shaping behavior in both positive and negative ways, depending on the context and personal tendencies.
