The Audience Effect

Consider yourself seated in an auditorium, witnessing a live performance on stage. Imagine yourself seeing it, listening to it, and feeling every word that the characters on stage say.
Most of the time, we've seen that the first row of audience members seated near the stage is intensely focused on the show. Why?
You guessed correctly. Because the other distractions are little or non-existent. The other people sitting in the same theater are the distractions. Assume that the show is about to end. What will occur?
The audience in the front row will cheer up more than the audience in the rear row. Most of the time, they stand alone to show their respect to individuals sitting in the center or behind the row who are just focusing on the people in front of them and are aware of the audience sitting behind them. This makes them slightly bashful, and as a result, they become too conscious of their surroundings at first.
