i like the one where they studied factory workers conditions to see how to make them more productive. they had good conditions and crappy condititions, but both groups of factory workers performed above expectations. so they made the crappy conditions worse and took more observations. the workers worked even harder. made conditions worse, and yet again factory workers worked harder.

in the end, it turns out that the workers in the crappy conditions worked harder bc they felt special for being studied and wanted to perform better as a result. basically you make someone feel important and they do better work.
