[Unit 5] Directions: The passage below is accompanied by several questions, which ask you to determine how the expression of ideas can be improved.Adults report the fear of1public speechmore often than any other fear, 2 death being included(Dwyer & Davidson, 2012). This 3intrigued finding highlights a defining human characteristic: We are concerned with how others might perceive and evaluate us. Indeed, numerous studies show adults’ inclination to promote, enhance, and manage their own public image in the presence of others (Leary & Allen, 2011; Mead, Baumeister, Stillman, Rawn, & Vohs, 2011; Tennie, Frith, & Frith, 2010). For instance, adult participants tend to display 4enhancing performance in trivial tasks when others are watching as opposed to 5being alone (Cottrell, Wack, Sekerak, & Rittle, 1968; Triplett, 1898). Strong conformity to a majority judgment or opinion is also prevalent, even when such judgment is blatantly wrong or untrue (Asch, 1956; Chartrand & Bargh, 1999; Cialdini & Trost, 1998).
