Preferred term

Hawthorne effect  

Definition(s)

  • Similar to the placebo effect in medicine, this effect occurs when people change their behavior simply as a result of being a participant in a research study or because they know that they are being observed. The behavioral change is usually in a socially acceptable direction. [Source: The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences; Hawthorne Effect]
