. We discussed the Hawthorne effect, a measurement problem that can arise in the study of human subjects. 1. Using an example other than the one used in the book, describe a measurement situation in which the Hawthorne effect would arise.

My answer is :

Examples : ( I wrote 2 examples)

1- Most of the doctors in the hospital feel pressure and nervous before performing any operation, which affects the success rate of the operation. Where the success rate of the operation is the measure if the doctors feel pressure, the success rate of the operation may decrease, and if they do not feel pressure, the success rate of the operation may increase.

- Most of the employees in factories feel nervous if someone is watching them, so this may affect their work efficiency. Where the work efficiency is the measure.

So that is mean the pressure and nervous are examples of the Hawthorne effect. Despite their actual grasp of a subject, some doctors and employees become overly nervous simply by performing operations or working in the factory, and the results of their work will be systematically depressed by the presence of purser and nervous.

Are my answer correct?
