170 | The Hawthorne Effect
What to Expect:
This episode explores the Hawthorne Effect, a famous psychological phenomenon that arose in the 1920s and 1930s and has been continuously debated by scientists since then. Once regarded as a simple relation between the presence of experimenters affecting worker performance, it has more recently been refuted as an excessively liberal, if not lazy, interpretation of data. Human behavior is complicated, but it can always be directly attributed to something in the environment.
