perform) using laboratory rats, and an automobile assembly line. One-way mirrored glass panels- were installed (9. install) to allow video cameras to record the activity and researchers to observe the same and take notes. We secretly inserted observers directly into the work environment.
These observers posed as outside contractors and (10. uniform) as maintenance and
cleaning staff, coffee and water service vendors, and similar supporting personnel. The observers
