Description
For many college students, it may seem less stressful to choose avoidance over being present especially when faced with presenting to an audience. However, audience members and presenters who are present can have a more enriching experience. Behavioral signs indicating someone is present (being in contact with immediate surroundings) have not yet been identified. This paper examines whether it is even possible to determine if someone is present by comparing self-measurements and audience interpretations of presenters.
