Unit 1 – Scientific Foundations of Psychology
Topic 1.2
What could be an unconventional perspective concerning the validity of the Hawthorne effect in psychology?
The Hawthorne effect doesn't exist and has no impact on behavior at all.
The act of being observed only impacts productivity if the observer is a superior or authority figure.
The act of being observed does not necessarily increase productivity, but rather the changed behavior is due to variations in task difficulty or complexity.
The act of being observed always decreases productivity due to increased stress.
