I keep confusing the Rosenthal Effect and Hawthorne Effect with one another. Does anyone know a good way to remember the two?
Thanks.

Pythagorean said:When you have great expectations of a weed and you enthrall it so you can harness its productive power, it become a rose
When people are being observed by a hawk, it's like a thorn in their shoe, keeping them from stopping.

rose is the intent
thorn is a consequence
The Rosenthal effect, also known as the Pygmalion effect, refers to the phenomenon where higher expectations lead to an increase in performance. In psychology, this effect has been observed in various settings, such as classrooms, workplaces, and even in research studies.
The Rosenthal effect can significantly impact research studies by biasing the results. If researchers have high expectations for certain participants or conditions, they may unconsciously influence the outcome of the study, leading to inaccurate conclusions.
The Hawthorne effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals modify their behavior when they know they are being observed. This effect can occur in various settings, such as workplaces, schools, and research studies, and can influence the results of the study.
The Hawthorne effect can impact research studies by altering the behavior of participants, leading to inaccurate results. Participants may change their behavior in response to being observed, which can affect the study's validity and reliability.
Researchers can minimize the impact of the Hawthorne effect by using various techniques, such as blinding, deception, and naturalistic observation. These methods can help reduce the participants' awareness of being observed and, therefore, minimize the effect on their behavior.
