What was the significance of the Hawthorne studies?

The Hawthorne studies showed that any change in a work condition tended to improve production. That is they found that just by studding people (paying attention to them) their productivity improved,

Oh yes, it certainly does!  Study after study has conclusivly shown there is a corelation between the two in addition to the fact that those who come from a family line that tends to be long also seem to have something with it that helps them recover from major diseases as well.  No one is sure what it is but it does seem to be there and linked.

I am not familiar with McGregor, Hawthorne, and Simon, but I would choose industrialization over behavioral school.  Have you tried to google the three names to see if that would help you??

Positing something different from the thinking that prevailed at the time.\n\nDo your own thinking for your homework.

i have never heard of a study with a specific name for lightning study. i have checked a lot and have found nothing.

The University of California Berkeley did a study on the subject.  I think it was in 2004 or 2005.

- Alien Attack/invasion/Genocide and enslavement of the Human race\n\nGood Socialogical experiment.  It would be interesting to be part of the study.

The study of man or mankind

I remember a study some years back that was basically a survey of people's political and social inclinations.  The subjects were asked to answer some questions about social issues, but the questions were not just the ordinary "are you for or against..." variety.  They were more complex and required some introspection before arriving at an answer.  I believe the subjects were also asked to identify themselves politically (e.g. liberal or conservative).  Interestingly, though, the results of the experiment showed that most people, regardless of how they identify themselves, are actually quite moderate in their views.  Had the questions been simple yes/no answers, the results would likely have been polarized.    \n\nAt the time I remember being fairly satisfied with the results, because it told me that the majority of the world is made of rational people who are capable of looking at both sides of an issue without consulting their team's handbook for the easy answer.  Social issues (including, I think, religion) are enormously complex, and do not deserve easy answers.  \n\nAnd I know your question was posted in the religion section, but I think the point remains: when complex issues are separated from their black-and-white image (e.g. pro-life, pro-choice; theist, atheist), the dogmatic "go-team" attitude falls away and people begin to think rationally.\n\nAlso, (and I don't know why) people tend to perceive ambivalence as a character flaw, or some sort of personal and moral failing.  That is why the dysphemism "wishy-washy" carries so much weight.  So perhaps in order to NOT be perceived this way, many people take a hard-line on issues they don't REALLY feel strongly about.

I did the same study myself last semester and didn't find much either.  If you have something specific you are looking for, Wikipedia may have it.  Also, if you don't mind looking at scientific literature try google scholar or your local university library journals.  That is where I had to get most of my stuff.  Sorry...  and Good Luck!

Yes it matters.\n\nResearch has shown evidence of that. blood group affects the personality.\n\nBut I have no clue, how far this is true.

This is the study of the rhythmic variation over time of numerous physiological variables in humans, plants, and other animals.  Many people think that there is a single "normal" value for such things as body temperature and blood pressure, but in fact these display predictable rhythmic variation over the course of a day, and so are known as circadian ("about the day") rhythms.  This variation may be fairly small, as with temperature which fluctuates by only a few degrees over the day, or it may be substantial, as with blood pressure which can vary by as much as 50% from early morning to late afternoon.  Many other physiological factors also have circadian rhythms, including blood levels of important hormones and rates of waste excretion into the urine.  We also have a roughly 24-hour sleep/wake cycle that governs our daily activity levels; this can be harmfully disrupted in people whose jobs require rotating shift work.  Other phenomena show predictable variation over longer periods of time; the most familiar example is the roughly 28-day cycle of estrogen and progesterone in women which underlies a woman's monthly menstrual cycle (assuming she does not become pregnant).\n\nOne of the leading researchers in the field of chronobiology was Dr. Franz Halberg at the University of Minnesota.  As a graduate student in the early 80's I worked with Dr. Halberg to study possible differences in circadian blood pressure rhythms between black and white adolescent boys; we hypothesized that such differences might serve as an early indicator of the substantially higher risk of high blood pressure in adult African-Americans than in whites.  We worked with am early type of automated blood pressure measuring device, long before such machines began to appear commonly in public places such as supermarkets.  Keeping a series of pairs of boys on such machines over 24-hour periods produced large quantities of data suggesting that there are subtle differences in blood pressure rhythm between black and white boys as young as 12-14.  I put myself on one of these devices to test its use before deciding that the boys would be able to tolerate being hooked up to a machine, and therefore essentially immobile, for a whole day.  Dr. Halberg insisted that I have sex with my wife while on the machine so that we could observe the effect on my blood pressure.  What won't we do to further the search for scientific knowledge!\n\nDr. Halberg was a pioneer in the development of practical methods for measuring and analyzing circadian rhythms in humans.  He also fostered innovative research suggesting that the efficacy of such medical treatments as cancer chemotherapy may vary according to the time of day or the month.  Other scientists have been able to show that a part of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus is the probable location of our biological clocks, which we are probably born with but that can be "tuned" or altered by light.  This basic research has led to the use of exposure to bright light at critical intervals to minimize the effects of "jet lag", which is caused by the delay in adjustment of a person's circadian sleep/wake cycle when moving across several time zones by rapid air travel.\n\nMany living organisms show pronounced rhythmicity in their behavior with changes in day length over the course of the solar year.  Examples include migration patterns in birds,  mating seasons in birds, insects, and mammals, and the growth, maturation, and death of many plants.  Apparently the biological clock evolved very early in the history of life, and serves as an important contributor to survival of individual animals and entire species.  The existence of biological rhythms is, in fact, something of which we are all more or less aware because we can see or sense them in our own bodies and in the lives of plants and animals. Just how widespread the occurrence of biological rhythmicity is, and its c

yes i would care to know the deeper meaning to the story! it would interest me! good luck w/ ur research!

All studies are done with an agenda, to discover or investigate something.  If results are skewed they often don't hold any water in the scientific community or won't make major press.  One study isn't worth anything, but a history of repeated studies that replicate the same findings are what are held as valuable.  There's a lot of factors and you have to approach each on a case by case value.

I know Darsee, a prominent psychologist and professor at Harvard, falsified most of his data.  Someone notified the NIMH and his data was analyzed and concluded to be falsified.  He lost his job and his reputation.
