Perceived Awareness of the Research Hypothesis Scale (PARH). The parameters of the current study provoke a number of variables to consider. In that respect, one of the variables in the Hawthorne Effect is that the participant becomes aware of the researchers observing their behaviors and adapts their behaviors to satisfy the researcher. In disclosing my research to the participant, allowing the participant to be aware of the preinstalled application on her smartphone that would be recording data made this researcher consider that the participant would figure out what was expected as the result of the research, i.e., she would figure out my hypothesis given that she was being directly monitored. To prove this, I relied upon the Perceived Awareness

The distinction was made between medical care that directly benefits the patient and research that may or may not provide a direct benefit was made. These guidelines have been revised subsequently five separate times, most recently in 2008. The next principals of ethical research conduct arose in The Belmont Report of 1979, underlining three principals; Respect for persons, highlighting the autonomy and dignity of the individuals and the need to protect those with diminished autonomy; Beneficence, or obligation to protect persons from harm by maximizing the benefits and minimizing risks; and Justice, the fair distribution of the benefits and burdens of research to those participants (Nijhawan et al.,
