Question

A class of third graders is told that the assistant principal will be visiting their class to confirm their teacher's reports of bad behavior. When the principal visits, the students behave perfectly. This is an example of ________.
a. The Authority Effect
b. The Regressive Effect
c. The Hawthorne Effect
d. The Cognizant Effect

Answer 1

Answer:

The Hawthorne effect

Explanation:

The Hawthorne effect is an effect that is related to the participant in an experiment who work harder and perform better in the experiment. In this term, the participants usually change their behavior not because of their self-manipulation but because of the behavior of the researcher.

The haw-throne effect is very important and is used in organizational and industrial psychology. This term is named after the place where it took place. The haw-throne effect is used to describe the relationship between work and the environment in an organization.  

Thus when the third class student told that principle is visiting and he will make a report on their bad behavior they start to behave in a good manner.
