Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hawthorn effect refers to the phenomenon of people changing their behavior simply because they know they are being observed or studied. In this case, the subjects' decision to consume more cow's milk is likely a result of their knowledge that they are participating in a bone health study. The placebo effect refers to a perceived or actual improvement in a medical condition or symptom as a result of receiving a fake treatment or intervention. The intervention and random effects are not relevant to this scenario.
