A group of I-O psychologists were interested in whether listening to the radio or an audio book while working would result in greater productivity of factory workers (defined by pounds of product produced). Therefore, the researchers visited a factory in Pennsylvania that has 10-full-time employees. They first recorded the pounds of product produced by each employee while listening to a local music radio station on Wednesday of week 1. Then on Wednesday of week 2, the researchers recorded the pounds...
