This research project analyzes the effect of a change in the reference point and the endogenous decision to reveal the reference point on the real effort provided in a real effort laboratory experiment. Absolute differences in the performance in a repeated math task are endogenously or exogenously revealed or not revealed at all participants in a group, before participants redo the math task again.
