Justification of Effort
Justification of effort is a social psychology concept suggesting that people place a higher value on goals and achievements that required significant effort to attain. According to this theory, the difficulty of achieving something makes it seem more worthwhile. This occurs because individuals are motivated to believe their time and effort were not wasted, especially when joining a group or completing a challenging task.
