Multiple studies have shown that people assign a higher value to something they "made" themselves, even if they only picked out the color or tightened a few screws. Why does that happen? Psychologists have a few theories.

Is there any studies that show a reverse effect? That you under value something you had no part in. Spending more and more money on things to get the same happiness effect than someone who made a crappy thing by themselves?
Is it just me, or is that a great way to increase contentment. I'd be more likely to protect/maintain the thing I've built, and I'm less likely to buy a new one. Ex - I sanded the letters off the keyboard of my computer. The flat black look is awesome and I don't really want to upgrade and buy a new computer unless it's necessary. Same with my car, the repairs I've done on it increase it's value to me. Is there anything to back this up, science or other anecdotes?
"People love their own children more than other people's children, just because they made them themselves, even though they wouldn't fetch as much on the open market" can you hear yourself?!? How can you be doing a psychology channel with no concept of subjective value aside from open market price? People who say "experts say" usually have poor judgement in recognising true expertise, recognising instead those with more money behind them. What ever happened to wisdom? Oh yeah, it's unprofitable. Now, shut up and drink your CocaCola, its market cap proves it's better than any drink you could make yourself!
@@Son0fHobs I just spent ages on my keyboard too! Thin plastic sheet because it keeps getting clogged by cat hairs, but then I couldn't see the letters at certain angles (not a problem touch-typing words, but becomes a problem with passwords etc, as they aren't in muscle memory or have visual feedback) so I stuck little squares over some (and eventually all) keys with very hand-written naturally looking letters, complete opposite of what you'd expect on a computer. I made it for me, nobody would buy it, but I didn't make it to sell it. You have simply recognised the difference between "value" and "price", which this video shamefully has not.
I always thought the IKEA effect was where you see things in the store and think, "Yes, that'll definitely fit in my car," and then you get to your car and the things do not fit in your car.
No, it's when you go to get one pan and get out with twenty other things
@@simoroshka and meatballs ;p
@@maciej9280 i think he meant 20 other meatballs
@@maciej9280
It definitely has meatballs at its core.
I have an old fashioned punk jacket that I've customised myself from just being a plain jacket. I distressed it, studded the entire thing by hand and sewed on the patches. I love it so much and every time I get compliments it makes me happier than any piece of clothing I've bought. ❤️❤️
Jackets like that ARE inherently better than store bought. ♡
Personalization adds a special touch. Every addition adds to the value.
@Edit Name The IKEA effect doesn’t just apply to crappy things
I learned a lot of new vocab through your comment. Thanks.

I've been saying this for years. Having the kids help in preparing the meals also demystifies the end product (lasagna is less weird when you're the one who built it). So there's less poking and prodding and "ew... what's that?" When the food gets put in front of them.
Also, thanks to my niece I found out that adding chocolate chips to great grandma's scones recipe is delicious.
wai,t who would think a lasagna is weird? it's just sauce, pasta, cheese, sauce, minced meat, pasta, cheeserince aand reapeat till the last flor where its saucee and cheese+parmesan.
nothing weird...
As an Italian i dont understand why someone would think a lasagna is weird, haha
@@iota-09 Kids often don't like when their food parts are muddled together, or worse, unrecognizable. Casserole and other mixed dishes (i.e. goulash) regularly don't go over well with children (and teens). When they cook it, there's no confusion or fear of the unknown.
@@Gulgathydra but lasagna is pretty orderly shaped... Regardless, what you said there i find interesting, sounds like culture shock, i Can't remember particular "scrambled foods" that made me doubt what was in them, and I don't trust a slight bit with my mother eh... Then again, in italy lasaga and pasta all forno in general gets eaten relatively often.
@@iota-09
It's a sloppy mess to kids accustomed to eating hot dogs and Cheetos. The irony of the situation is when you look at how those are made and realise nobody would want to eat them if they made it from scratch.
Which explains why the clothes my mother made for me to wear to school (60 years ago) made HER feel better than I did about it.
SHE selected the fabric and patterns. I hated her choices.
Oof, i know that feel. My mother, while she can pump out high quality jackets, shirts, and dresses like its no big deal, is absolutely AWFUL at making pants. In one place they barely fit, in the other they are big enough for an elephant, yet in the end she still thinks they are just as good as those i usually wear.
Too bad you didn't get to pick something out or have a part in the creation process, maybe you would've like the clothing more.
I made a rock, I polished it, painted it and bedazzled it.
Every time I break a window with it I get people asking me "is this your rock?"
I proudly answer: "yes it is."
Man, now I feel a little bad for my clients. I'm one if those people Ikea sends out to build your furniture for you.
On the plus side, having hundreds of hours of experience means the stuff I build NEVER wobbles 💪😤
IKEA does that?
HOW LAZY CAN HUMANITY GET
@@HojozVideos money is money
I have a lot IKEA products in my room, I use them more than 10 years by now, they are never wobbles!
Furniture made by my local company are so old style, I can’t stand it! And they are wobbles!
But every time she host this show I’ll watch it, because I like her very much!
@@JoNLam-jx4rr I have an internship at what you could call a local furniture shop, and can say from experience that quality and finish is the last thing you should expect.
I totally understand what you meant, I meant when they the same price, I can’t get good as IKEA products quality in my area, of course we have local company make very high quality and stylish furniture, but they’re super expensive (x 3-4 times the price)!
And I very enjoy build furniture!
Reminds me of Build-A-Bear.
This concept should be used in treating people with depression. A big part of the illness is feeling deeply disempowered, to the point where you feel incapable of achieving even simple task, and a that you have no control over your life. Feeling ownership of our choices is pretty crucial to mental health.
More research is needed.
But yes.
If people view their creations as extensions of themselves, does that mean that a self-loathing person will hate their creations?
Parallel Yeah of course, anyone who self describes as a perfectionist basically falls into this category
No, it's just humility, not hate.
Sounds right in my case
@@Ben_the_Ignorant have you ever met an artist
yes, it does.
I do love the building phase, but I'm not especially attached to Ikea furniture once they're built. Mostly because they're standardised and not so unique if you assemble them according to the instructions. But I tend to hold onto my more creative crafts very dearly. I haven't tried Ikea hacks but I suppose if I came up with one, I'd probably get attached to it. So I'd tend to say it must be indeed rooted in the "extention/expression of myself" theory. At least in my case!
(but to be honnest, it is true that the amount of time/efforts spent on something adds to the satisfaction... unless the "genius" part of my craft is precisely how cleverly quick and easy I managed to make it)
5:07 "It's crooked and beautiful." :D
Yeah! I loved that bit too! :D
Should be the official quote of April 2019!
I know I'm not the only one who love it XD
-Me looking at the purse I handmade and had to fix several times
My Dad always made me help him make dinner, even if I didn't usually like the food, because he knew I couldn't NOT eat it if I made it myself. And I sure I'm biassed toward clothes I sewed myself, even though I'm not a very good seamstress and store bought stuff fits and looks much better.
I love the chicken coop that I built, but my chickens are always complaining, "How do you expect us all to fit in that tiny bird house?!"
So with the IKEA effect in mind, why do a lot of artists undervalue and often hate their own work and say that it's not good?
I've been wondering this as well.
RayRaven That’s because we know it’s an extension of ourselves, and we've studied, assessed, analysed and critiqued. We feel the burden of contributing to a dialogue that has been going on for centuries. We fear that our comments are not insightful enough, not concise, articulate, eloquent enough. One little pencil line can be exuberant, hesitant, assured, delicate, aggressive. Every millimetre is a decision, an inflection. We feel a sense of duty, art is the realm of truth.
An artist's first duty is to educate themselves and not to run blurting and squawking into the middle of the adult's conversation. Skills are useless if you have nothing to say. It’s difficult to feel that your comment is worthy; anyone who isn’t burdened by that is revelling in the pleasures of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Of course I am not speaking of craft or hobbies! No one should criticise either the hobbyist or the illustrator. A skilled craft is not less than art, it is a worthy endeavour and should be admired and appreciated for its own sake. The hobbyist is cultivating their mind in a secondary interest outside of their vocation. That is also to be admired. It is not necessary to rank these things, nor is it ranking them to identify their differences. It would not make sense to say that only firefighters are important and not dentists, or that people who do voluntary work outside their profession are useless.
Because artists are usually not okay in the head
Well if its an extension of themselves, then it stands to reason they're unnecessarily hard on it because they view themselves in a similar light.
If you're a perfectionist, or were raised as one, what happens if you perceive your work as a "B" rather than an "A"? You freak out like its a bad report card.
It depends on how much you know about the subject. The more skilled you get, the more you understand that there's more to learn. And the road to perfection is endless.
*YESSSSSSSSSS*
The IKEA effect, I knew it!
I really love that name though :p
Great video guys!
I never felt any sort of IKEA effect when I put together furniture.. dozens of times.. it's just furniture, I've never felt any sort of way about it, neither good nor bad.
I put together a desk a few weeks ago and didn't like it haha. But that was because of design choices out of my control (they didn't paint the back of some boards that didn't show in the picture so it felt cheap even finished).
If you've done actual building, you have less respect for the IKEA stuff.
I built a saloon-style bar, from scratch, including designing it. Since then, I don't value my IKEA stuff anymore.
@@Gulgathydra Haha yeah i already know that they're selling actual garbage disguised as furniture :p. I have to admit I enjoy putting it together and the satisfaction of the pieces fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle.. I just absolutely do not feel any so called IKEA effect, it's barely functional garbage ;)
I feel it sometimes when I build things, but only if I designed it myself. Flatpack furniture doesn't do that for me. Once built a 2x4 and plywood cover for my garage after a tree took out the door (to keep it safe until the claim could go through). It was beautiful...
Okay, not really. It was ugly. But it was strong, and it was a nice snug fit in the door frame. 10 years later I still take pride it that one.
I can follow directions too.
Making something yourself is awesome!
I have the opposite of this. If I played a role in it's creation then I can never ignore it's flaws and my failings every time I see an item.
"I made this" "This is me"
alt: "I made this" "this is my horcrux"
the video might as well be called ‘reason why i’m making my own fursuit’ 😂
Sounds like the Black Friday Effect. Buying trash and be happy about it, because you put effort in getting it, and feel like saving money
That “it’s beautiful” at the end was adorable
I think I have the anti IKEA effect. I do wood working and other crafts and even while i'm in the process of making things I am always thinking of ways I could make it better on the next one.
yeah but that's kind of the whole artist thing? i'd posit that the things you make (while being functional) are essentially works of art
Fantastic video on this subject. You covered everything. You kick some serious ass.
I once fixed up some fairly lights cables that my dog chewed on when he was stressed (separation anxiety. he's much better now.) and it felt so satisfying to see them light up again without causing a massive fire lol
The IKEA effect must be the reason why I love my gitchy programs. Every time I finish a project my mind flys with the possibilities, just because I did it myself.
what a lovely video, thank you!!!
I must have the opposite of this... I always feel like things I work on would have been better if I'd have had a pro do it, lol.
I think a big part of it is familiarity.
I'm just throwing darts at the wall here, I don't have anything to back it up, but when I think about why I like the things I put a personal touch on or had a hand in making, it's because I feel I know more about it than anybody else does. I know how tight those screws are, and what's under them, and how stripped the heads are, and whether or not I was precise or haphazard when putting leg "B" on, etc.
I might feel protective of it afterwards because someone else might not know how much weight they could potentially put on the table top and break it, which would be a waste of my effort.
I think maybe we covet them because they represent time to us. Wasted time is horrible, so we protect it, or savour it, or value it higher.
This video sparks joy
Hi! Loved the theme and the presenter for this episode.
Keep it up!

This sparks joy.
There's a piece of the Ikea Effect I haven't heard mentioned. The best advice my father ever gave me was "let the thing tell you what's wrong with it." He was talking about radios or tube TVs, and it took me at least 10 years to realize that in order to do that you have to intimately know how a device is SUPPOSED to work so that when it doesn't, the device can "tell you" what is wrong with it and your troubleshooting becomes much easier. This applies to electronics, mechanics, and even humanity. For devices that can be built, if you build something yourself, you KNOW every little thing about it, so that if it breaks, you KNOW how to fix it. There is immense value in that...the cost of the device isn't just in building it; it's also in the maintenance of it over time, and the longevity of it before it needs fixing. The more investment you have in something, the more REAL value it has, not just perceived value. FYI, I don't really build PCs anymore because I know the difference in building vs. buying, and usually cheaper bought ones are good enough and I don't have to build one...except the $500 home server I just built that is demonstrably better for its purpose than what I could buy pre-assembled.
Reminds me of why boxed cake mix still has you crack an egg to mix in when they typically don't even need it, it makes you feel like you put in more effort and that you did more to make that cake
HAHAHAHAHAHA the facial expression @ 5:07 cracks me up!!
y?
hyper space it’s quirky and cute
I thought this was gonna be about why I love going there so much...
I think I suffer from a reverse IKEA effect!
To be fair I have kind of always enjoyed assembling furniture. Recently bought my Great Aunt a double rocker for her birthdays and had to assemble it. It was fun, but I did need help holding the parts together and making sure they were secure.
This is very relatable for my knitting!
i've never had any furniture from Ikea wobble or act wonky.
Neither have I -- with several pieces, 13 years and running.
That means that you have assembled it properly. A surprising number of people cannot or do not do that.

Everyone has a home
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there
Ikea: Plywood, brushed steel

All of them for me
I work in a kitchen shop, making cabinets and drawers and the like, and I can assure you the Ikea Effect doesn't last forever. When you make cabinets every day, you start to like them less, not more, because you remember the process :P
Though I must say, seeing an empty room with bare drywall turn into a furnished room with paint and countertops and flooring (most of which we don't do, admittedly) can be pretty rewarding
This feels closely related to the Betty Crocker effect. Interesting video!
I enjoyed this video while sitting at the desk that I made by hand which I love and is better than all other desks. (Meanwhile I just bought some wood from home depot, sanded primed and painted it and secured the wood to two cube bookcases for legs.)
I can’t remember what I was watching the yesterday but it was speaking about the ikea effect and two other effects, one of which was the frequency effect which discusses about how when you hear something for the first time you start hearing/seeing it everywhere and now y’all made this video.
This channel should be called psyshow
ITS CROOCKED AND BEAUTIFULL!! my new moto!
I find this really interesting for a lot of reasons. Mainly I'm a really creative person especially with hands on physical projects. Like I recently redecorated my room it's a room I've lived in my whole life and when I was 6 I finally got to choose what color the walls were and what bed I slept on. When I redid my room recently at 23 I changed the walls completely from a light pink to a fade from light blue at the bottom to dark blue at the top with a galaxy effect, I also changed all of the furniture and the headlamp. and boy do I love how my room looks now! But the main reason I bring this up is because most of my furniture is from Ikea but my computer desk (and bed cause I kept my old one made for tiny children lol) and even though I also had to build the desk like the Ikea stuff I hate it cause it's smaller than I thought it would be and it just isn't as nice as I thought it'd be. But I love each and every ikea thing I've made! TBH kinda more than this one shelf I made completely from scratch and even designed myself so like??? Also I tend to hate and paintings I make so?
And about the study from 2018 the reason they got those results could be because the kids got to choose what they liked so their doll had everything they liked and wanted in it while tho other dolls might have some stuff they like but not all. I'd really love to see it recreated with adults since adults are more concerned with making the thin look "nice" or how others might like it and not just how they'd like it. oh that makes me want a study where there are two groups of adults given the task to build dolls but one group is told to make the "best doll" and the other is told to make the doll the person themselves would want with the whole stipulation of not being able to keep it and see how the peoples feel about the dolls then!
I really don't think the answer is just that the item feels like an extension of the person but also that it's just what they like more.
wow, so this explains why I kept that 1982 Buick Lesabre for 20 years even though it had been so gutted to the point of card board door panels, no carpet cause it got moldy, floor rusted out but I had rebuilt the engine and drive train so many times.
I read that the company making cake mix discovered that housewives were more satisfied with the final product if the instructions had them add an egg.
This is me when I spend 3 hours in a Video Game character creator and then end up covering my character's face with a helmet.
It's so much better because HE'S MY BABY!~
What's the opposite of IKEA effect? Because I tend to value things that I made less than others.
"Being an artist"
@@joegt123 I'm not an artist tho
self loathing?
I think it's just the backside of the same coin. You project a piece of own personality on something you put a hand on, so whether you like it more or less because of it reflects your relationship with your personality.
being a perfectionist
of course people love their IKEA furniture from a perfectly normal IKEA, they had to ward of weird monsters with long arms and short legs and smuggle it out before the Foundation notices it and terminates it
Your talking about the scp aren't you haha
Haha which one is this from?? I wanna read it. Sounds interesting :p

This made me reevaluate my pride in the tv stand I repainted, still love it though 💛
Don't you ever talk to me or my table son ever again.
Which is why all kindergartners raise their hands when asked, "Who is an artist?" But when the same question is asked to high schoolers, only a few do.
wow, i guess that is one of the few moments when low self-esteem "pays off". i'd never say my self-assembled ikea stuff is better than what anyone else build. i might get a bit attached to it because i put a little bit of work into it but other than that the joy about the new furniture just comes from the fact that it is something "new and shiny".
Wait then tell me why artists always hate their work so much even if it's actually really good
Our standards are higher than our skill. And as our skill advances, our standards do too. So the skill never catches up. So we allways feel like we're underperforming. It's only when we look back on previous work that progress becomes apparent.
And... now you know why software developers are so attached to the programs they write.
They used to call it the Betty Crocker effect. They could actually make their cake mixes so it required less work from the end-user but people felt better about it when they "did it themselves" so they sold more cake mixes when you had to add an egg and some milk yourself. Marketing folks figured out how to exploit this psychological phenomena long time ago.
"It's crooked and beautiful" is the best comment made in SciShow so far.
I've never ever experienced the Ikea Effect, professional furniture feels a lot better than something I put together myself.
At the start i thought, it's like putting together a Leggo kit...next up Leggos!
The 'Officeworks-Effect' is the opposite; as you assemble something like an office-chair you gradually realise how badly it's made (even after disassembling it, taking it back to exchange it for another, then finding that one has different problems)!
Making something myself gives me sense of accomplishment. I am skilled at a few handicrafts(origami, crochet, counted cross stitch, baking), but I know my limitations in other areas. I will undo work if there are mistakes, no matter the time invested. Can't with baking, though! 😁
Just bought expensive wooden file. Box arrived, weighed a ton (almost). Thought it would come assembled. Took me most of a day to carefully assemble it. (Instructions = pictographic) I love it!
Hmm, paying for Curiosity Stream, I dunno, I think MY scishow videos that I’VE commented on are better than subscription media
I should make all my own things. It sounds amazing to love everything I own
ah, this explains why i've never heard of it. i've likely never felt it, as i have crushingly low self-esteem, and evaluate everyone else's physical work higher than mine.
I have made so many pieces of DIY furniture that I don't get that effect any more, except once in a while when the instructions say I need a friend to help but I manage on my own or there's a manufacturing error and I have managed to work around it...
Once a new achievement becomes a routine and loses it's novelty or rarity value the thing you made is not as delightful any more. (Imagine making shirts in a factory all day, every day. Will you still feel the shirts are special?) I certainly don't feel any bride towards my furniture just because I put it together. Meanwhile, my 10-year old son felt proud having made his own bed, knowing that probably not many of his classmates had never held a screwdriver, Allen key and a hammer. I think having even some sort of "survival skill" naturally gives us a good feeling and perhaps we do like to keep trophies to remind us that we are not really as useless as our ease of living makes us believe.
I guess that partially explains the hype around customized and handmade stuff such as artisan bicycle frames.
I don't remember where I got this or if it actually happened, but long ago, when pre-made cakes were starting to be a thing, it was kinda just a powder you added milk to (or something else), bake and that's it. It wasn't selling well, so the company did some exploration and found out exaclty this type of effect, because people thought that baking a pre-made cake wasn't any different than just byuing a cake. So the company took out a few of the ingredients out, and made people do some more stuff on the preparation, and it then started to sell better. I have no idea where I heard or saw this though, but it makes a lot of sense given the ikea effect, and explains why pre-made cakes aren't just a powders you mix with a liquid and bake xD
genuinely thought this video would be about people who like the uneven tables at restaurants/where ever tables are available at
I knew about this long before it got its name. My first piece of Ikea furniture was over 35 yrs ago. My spouse and I just loved it because we built it!
Lol, the old man meme.
Excuse me his name is harold
Before watching this video I would guess the effect is about you not wanting to replace your furniture because you assembled it yourself and thus have a stronger, maybe even emotional connection to it.
I work at Ashley Furniture and I have to sell and put together all sorts of furniture. The items I make myself have special treatment when I sell them. I just can't help feel they are better than the rest.
A wise music teacher of mine once told me never fall in love with your sound recording. It's about the same thing.
This is how I got my husband to cook. I asked him for help chopping onions and bam! best sauce ever! Everything he helped with was his favorite. He now thinks he has natural talent and makes us dinner. I just have to put up with his gloating and sometimes rice eggo tacos with ketchup.
More fuel for the ol' impostor syndrome, thanks SciShow!
I designed Twibright Ronja (look it up - you probably not gonna be disappointed) and it truly became a part of my identity. When people want to introduce me, they often say "he's the guy who made Ronja"😂
Could be called the LEGO effect, it's pretty common for me :P
explains why the food i cook tastes extra good
I've absolutely never had that happen with things such as an Ikea table. I put together an Ikea desk and my opinion on it is "this is garbage, hopefully some day I can afford a real desk". However, I do have some items which I consider to be an extension of myself. Although often times they're not things made by me. I would like to make things however, but, make things as in from scratch (but I lack a workshop to do that in).
I definitely don't have the Icea Effect :DI put together a table and the moment I was done I disliked the table and wandered why I even bought it.
I'm a prime example of the IKEa effect. I built a few bookshelves for my kids out of old wooden pallets...they're ugly as sin (que the cognitive dissonance in myself) but man I made them with my own two hands and you'll love those bookcases damn it!!!
Thank you for fueling my impostor syndrome...
does this effect also apply to for example tattoos?
Sick Internet Historian collab
that "crooked and beatiful" got me hard! Well done, Brit!
I feel it different for people that build alot of thing often. Cause as a black smithing and carpenter I notice the small things like a single scratch under the polish of the handle fit not being perfect. Or like a small glue mark u didn't sand out before finishing. Ive heard alot of makers say they hate the things they made cause they aren't perfect.
Is this a reupload? I'm having major dejavu right now
I feel this way about keep my plants alive and propagating or separating them.
They only make you put eggs in cake mixes so you have more pride and ownership. They could add dried eggs to the mix, but people would just as soon buy a already made cake.
Is like when the burnt food that you just cooked some how just tastes fine.
I work as a custom builder, and THIS IS VERY A THING!
don't talk to me or my 16 3-legged tables ever again
I hate most things I've had to put together myself. If I had the money, I would always pay someone to do it for me.
But I also have chronic illnesses, and I hate using all my spoons up putting a table together vs. getting chores done.
"It's crooked and beautiful" probably what our parents think of us :p
