The audience effect is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when an individual's performance is influenced by the presence or perception of an audience. This effect is often seen in situations where individuals are performing in front of others, such as in public speaking, sports, or artistic performances.
The audience effect has been attributed to several factors,
including social facilitation (where the presence of others enhances
performance) and evaluation apprehension (where individuals are concerned about
being evaluated by others).
