Workplace Observation

Improved Essays
Distractions in the workplace are distractions that are something of no need to benefit a company flourish or do any good. My hypothesis is labor forces that have distractions while working to see how long it takes to recover from a distraction to get back to doing what they were doing from the start. At the moment is effortlessly distracted and unproductive, they are weighed down which in turn leads to overcome and creates a state of mind of under no circumstances having an adequate amount of time to do all that is necessary both at work and while not at work.

The baseline tests a cross-word puzzle with ten words to be put into the puzzle. The next base line test was a grammar test of English sentences that had 5 sentences and they were asked to choose which words were spelled wrong.

While the results from the base line test was in variations some finished the test in a very fast amount of time while others took almost three times as much time. The quickest amount of time for the test to be done was 10 minutes while the longest amount was 26 minutes. With these results in hand we could move on to start the next three tests for a part of this experiment. Before we could move on with the experiment we asked each participant what they thought that their results would be. Because we did not tell them it was about distractions we just asked them if they would do good or bad and rating on a 1 bad to 10

    80's Music Analysis

    • 639 Words

    Conclusion The hypothesis for how 80’s music would make it harder for the participants to focus was accepted. The data used from the experiment that supports the hypothesis was the different genres of music that each participant listened to, one of the genres of music was 80’s music and the participants that listened to 80’s music had a harder time focusing on the worksheet and got more time for the trials with music than without music. I think the results came out the way they did is because when your doing a math worksheet especially basic multiplication you have to be able to think hard. Trying to think hard while listening to music isn’t easy.…
