Effort can have positive, negative, and nonmonotonic impacts on outcome value in economic choice

Marcowski, P., Białaszek, W., & Winkielman, P.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General (2025)

This paper investigates effort's influence on outcome valuation in economic decisions, comparing prospective and retrospective scenarios. Effort can diminish or enhance value depending on context and individual, often displaying nonmonotonic patterns. To account for these patterns, a novel decision model explains and predicts these effects via the interplay of perceived effort costs and benefits.
