The CAP Cadet Program puts the Hawthorne lesson in action through which body?

• A. National staff
• B. The Cadet Advisory Council
• C. Local Squadrons
• D. Cadet Leadership Team

Answer: (B)

The Hawthorne effect is about how attention and involvement can boost people’s motivation and performance. In the CAP Cadet Program, this idea is put into action through the Cadet Advisory Council. The CAC serves as the formal channel for cadets to share input, concerns, and ideas with senior leadership. When cadets feel their voices are heard and their feedback matters, they become more engaged, take more initiative, and participate more actively—examples of the attention and value the Hawthorne lesson highlights. The other groups play important roles, but they don’t serve as the official cadet-feedback body that directly channels cadet input to influence program practices in this way.
