Psychological processes responsible for value creation are explored beginning with the energization model (EM) developed by Brehm and his colleagues (e.g., Wright & Brehm, 1989). Biner's (1987) study of the effects of task difficulty and goal value on goal attractiveness was replicated as an additional test of EM. An initial analysis of the results supported the model: Goal attractiveness decreased with increased task difficulty at the moderate reward level but increased when the reward was highly valued. Closer inspection of the data revealed two possible anomalies to EM, however. These anomalies, concerning the relation of the attractiveness and effort concepts to value creation, are analyzed in greater depth through use of gedanken experiments and from the perspective of personal equity-comparison theory (Seta & Seta,1992) in an effort to advance research in this promising area. |
