Title
Mitigating the "Hawthorne effect" in simulation studies.
Abstract
Though little research has been published on the influence of the Hawthorne effect in simulation studies, it is an inescapable phenomenon that can have a dramatic impact on both data gathering and model validation. This paper examines the potential impact of the Hawthorne effect on simulation studies and presents several case studies where it has occurred and been successfully managed. Techniques for detecting and dealing with this psychological phenomenon are presented.
