I feel the most sympathetic toward the scum team...especially if any of the players play scum like I do and actually read the game xP mrrrrrt Horn was a bitch and I was super busy that week...and lol that was a mini geript thinks he plays better when he doesn't post as much and just analyzes xP he's probably right there's this rule...in science...damn I need to google the word isn't coming...not the Hawthorne Effect but kinda the same principle...by the very act of interacting with others you change their behavior? in my case i'm too blunt/direct often which is something i'm trying to change...not be quite so obvious where my head's at if it causes players to play differently than they would otherwise  | ||

it does look like a similar concept, though nah, it's specifically related to scientists observing people or animal behavior, and that behavior changing because of the knowledge that the scientists are there...:/ I just can't remember the name of it I think it was in reference to gorillas originally? | ||

Rasputin, are you talking about classical conditioning or the Pavlov experiment? Or am I mixing that up with something else? | ||

this is an unintentional by-product of the fact that you're studying something and they're aware of your presence...implies a subject of more intelligence than molecules truffle is talking about how you can't be perfectly precise (the better your measurement in one dimension, the less accurate in another, essentially) >< I've completely derailed this thread now lol | ||

The Hawthorne effect (also referred to as the observer effect) is a type of reactivity in which individuals improve an aspect of their behavior in response to their awareness of being observed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect | ||

that's closer than hawthorne but still not it :/ lol well >> I haven't taken physics since...um...good lord...I want to say 2001-2002? and I don't remember that principle in there but that's not saying much 13-14 years later lol | ||

The Pygmalion effect, or Rosenthal effect, is the phenomenon whereby the greater the expectation placed upon people, the better they perform.[1] The effect is named after the Greek myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved. A corollary of the Pygmalion effect is the golem effect, in which low expectations lead to a decrease in performance; both effects are forms of self-fulfilling prophecy. By the Pygmalion effect, people internalize their positive labels, and those with positive labels succeed accordingly. The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that increasing the leader's expectation of the follower's performance will result in better follower performance. Within sociology, the effect is often cited with regard to education and social class. Studies of the Pygmalion effect have been difficult to conduct. Results show a positive correlation between leader expectation and follower performance, but it is argued that the studies are done in an unnatural, manipulated setting. Scientists argue that the perceptions a leader has of a follower cause the Pygmalion effect. The leader's expectations are influenced by their perception of the situation or the followers themselves. Perception and expectation may possibly be found in a similar part in the brain. *throws up her hands* Sorry Rasputin, I know jack all about psychology except the basics (studied biochemistry at uni because I was a glutton for punishment). | ||

like I swear hawthorne and Rosenthal/pygmalion were part of my management course in behavioral science...though I guess this is behavioral science... it's just not the right one lolol i'll go with truffle's observer effect - related to the uncertainty principle for now -flops on truffle-' and here's hoping i'm not making some random principle/law up and haven't just sent everyone on a wild goose chase for something that doesn't exist xP | ||
