It's a personal pet peeve of mine when people invent a new name for a phenomenon that's been around for ages.
In this particular case, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effort_justification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effort_justification, with classic experiments dating back to the 50ies.
Yet, give it a couple of moons, and next time you try to explain what effort justification is, some dolt will be like "Oh you mean the IKEA effect?"
Reminds me of a prof I once had, who taught nanoparticles. He said "We used to just call this stuff 'chemistry', but then we realised we got published a lot more easily if we started putting 'nano' in front of everything".
