Jacobs♦ | @DavidEspina The application of the effect is to invalidate (or at least cast suspicion on) some types of empirical data, especially in the social sciences. However, the effect itself is really no different than saying "the observer interacts with the observed simply through the process of observation." | |
| Jul 17, 2012 at 18:42 | comment | added | David Espina | Hawthorne Effect is more than just being observed. It was an application of a variable with an observed effect. If you do not consider the premise as less valuable, then you are exposed to accepting cause and effect relationships that are not real, causing expensive decisions to be made down the line to institute those useless variables. This is not unlike rituals, lucky charms, habits, and even obsessive-compulsive behaviors that we humans have a tendency of adopting to help control the randomness of our lives. | |
