Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/IKEA effect

Initial suggestion
Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestion:
 * You may find it helpful to skip ahead and watch the Dan Ariely video from Lecture 04 which is about the IKEA effect

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Topic Development
Outline is looking good so far! In terms of applications you could consider the nature of "open-source" communities, (such as wikis for example ), as a way to facilitate collaboration. Since an individual's name (or profile) is connected to something he/she wrote, they can feel more attached to the work put in.--U3213250 (discuss • contribs) 03:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks U3213250,
 * There is definitely research on the application of collaboration, I don't know if there is anything specific of on Wiki's but its a good suggestion thanks. U3209567 (discuss • contribs) 09:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi! This is a super interestng topic and have noticed that you noted some important focus questions. I thought it might be interesting to invstigate this effect specifically on children? I saw that one of your focus question is to investigate how this effect impacts people, maybe you would like to look deeper on the impact it may have on children and why they find it so appealing to build toys/lego. I look forward to reading more about your topic! --MaryamNageeb (discuss • contribs) 03:44, 18 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Children don't come up as much in the research, though I will be making use of study that looks at how IKEA effect impact's Children's vegetable intake. Lego is just used as example because its a) used by the researchers in the original tests, b) it is a good at demonstrating the exact mechanism of the IKEA effect, in that we tend to value the things because they were our creation, rather than because of their ability to meet an "objective standard" c) I am using lego as example cause I grew up building it and understand how to apply it as a conceptual framework for this assignment.
 * Thanks for the feedback U3209567 (discuss • contribs) 03:58, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I think that you have chosen a really interesting topic to tackle. I also found it very interesting with you mentioning that this specific book chapter could be argued as the IKEA effect, well done!!! I was reading through your chapter and I thought that this study may be of some use to you. I found their results to be very interesting. They talk about the neural basis of the IKEA effect and how attachment and memory play an important role! I hope this helps. < https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnrgo.2023.1129582/full > --Alice hatcher (discuss • contribs) 10:57, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
