IKEA effect?
2 comments

It's an interesting phenomenon that you'll no doubt recognise. I first came across while doing an online behavioural economics course. Wikipedia has a good article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_effect
"The IKEA effect is a cognitive bias in which consumers place a disproportionately high value on products they partially created."
