The Impact of Standing on Engagement

Sitting is not inherently bad, but the issue lies in the anonymity it creates, leading individuals to disengage. When students feel anonymous, they tend to disengage both consciously and subconsciously, affecting their participation. By standing up, individuals are no longer anonymous and are more likely to remain engaged. This phenomenon is not limited to students and is a part of human nature, as seen in various settings such as professional development workshops where individuals often choose to sit at the back to feel anonymous and disengage.
