“In the case of mental effort, the unpleasantness may serve a purpose. For example, there is this effect called ‘the IKEA effect,’ named after the furniture store,” Bijleveld says. “The idea is that if people invest more effort into making or creating something, this increases the extent to which they value the product of their work. So, if people invested effort into something, this does tell them that that something is very meaningful or valuable to them."
