Micro Bite 10 - The Hawthorne and Spotlight Effect
from The Macro Perspective · host Marcos Rivera and Seamus Sullivan
While The Micro Perspective is and always will be a joint venture sharing insight about health perspectives from a macro lens, we (Seamus and Marcos) personally challenged one another to create smaller solo segments to keep our audience engaged and privy to things we are passionate about or coming across in our studies that aren't making it into our full length episodes. Thus, the Micro Bite segment was born to help give some motivational moments from our passion project. We hope you enjoy!______ The following definitions were found on Wikipedia.The Hawthorne effect is a type of reactivity in which individuals modify an aspect of their behavior in response to their awareness of being observed.The spotlight effect is the psychological phenomenon by which people tend to believe they are being noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one's own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others is uncommon. The reason for the spotlight effect is the innate tendency to forget that although one is the center of one's own world, one is not the center of everyone else's. This tendency is especially prominent when one does something atypical.Social loafing is the phenomenon of a person exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a group than when working alone. It is seen as one of the main reasons groups are sometimes less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals. _______ Did you know we are also on Spotify?
