Question

A football coach plays the "tough guy" role when he is actively performing his job with the members of his team. This illustrates what Goffman referred to as_____________ behavior.

Answer 1

Front stage

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Goffman if the person's actions are visible to audience then it is said that the behavior is front stage otherwise its back stage behavior. So in this case, the football coach reflects front stage behavior as his actions are visible to audience. When there is nobody around then the people reveal their actual behavior. In this scenario the coach is active person and gets engaged with its team to make amendments and seems to fulfill his duties. The audience is always there so he is reflecting front stage behavior.
