Erving Goffman refers to these behaviors as a characteristic of "front regions".

Everyday-life interaction is performed in different kinds of dramaturgical "regions," and in investigating the attributes of these locales, Goffman presents his notable refinement between the "scene" or the "front region" and the "back region." In the front area, Goffman battles, particular exhibitions occur before a crowd of people. Here, the entertainers assume their parts and modify their exhibitions as per the predominant regulating structure.
