PSThe Hawthorne Effect describes how people tend to change their behavior when they know they are being observed. This phenomenon was first discovered during productivity studies conducted at the Hawthorne Works factory in the 1920s. Researchers noticed that workers increased their performance not necessarily because of changes in working conditions, but simply because they were aware that someone was studying their behavior. When people feel watched, their brain becomes more alert and self-aware, often leading them to work harder, behave more carefully, or try to appear more productive. This psychological effect appears in many areas of life, including workplaces, schools, sports, and even social media. It shows how powerful awareness and observation can be in influencing human behavior.
