In social research, human subjects' values, attitudes, and behavior constitute the main areas of research. If the research conditions are artificial, human beings tend to react to the conditions and the treatment. Human subjects often search for clues, hints, and information to enable them to develop an understanding of the experiment and, thereby, often arrive at a definition of their situation, which affects their attitudes, ideas, reactions, and behaviors during the program. If so, findings may not be accurately generalized to the unprotested population.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
