How to use Hawthorn effect in user test? | UX Design Tips
The Hawthorn effect is a very typical psychological effect in organization management. The workers in this experiment were exposed to different lighting environments to test their work productivity.
The results have shown that the boost in productivity lies not in the lighting itself, but in the attention that workers received in the experiment.
This is one typical effect in play in the field of user testing. As the testing environment is rarely natural, it is common to have some discrepancies between the users’ performance and the actual outcome.
Thus it got me thinking about how we could better mimic the actual use scenario where users would feel more comfortable with less spotlight to perform more naturally. Please comment and let me know what your thoughts are on this.
I hope this was helpful.
