Personal bests as reference points [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Personal bests act as reference points. Examining 133 million chess games, we find that players exert effort to set new personal best ratings and quit once they have done so. Although specific and difficult goals have been shown to inspire greater motivation than vague pronouncements to “do your best,” doing one’s best can be a specific and difficult ...

Savings, subgoals, and reference points [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2013 Decision makers often save money for a specific goal by forgoing discretionary consumption and instead putting the money toward the savings goal. We hypothesized that reference points can be exploited to enhance this type of saving.

Reference Point Heterogeneity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 It is well-established that, when confronted with a decision to be taken under risk, individuals use reference payoff levels as important inputs. The purpose of this paper is to study which reference points characterize decisions in a setting in which there are several plausible reference levels of payoff.

Berthing Assistant System Using Reference Points
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 With more goods to be transported oversea, traffic and vessels’ dimensions increase while berthing areas merely remain constant and thus challenge ship masters and pilots to maneuver in small basins with dense traffic even in bad weather situations.

Reference Points and Effort Provision [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 A key open question for theories of reference-dependent preferences is: what determines the reference point? One candidate is expectations: what people expect could affect how they feel about what actually occurs. In a real-effort experiment, we manipulate the rational expectations of subjects and check whether this manipulation influences their ...

Contracts as Reference Points - Experimental Evidence [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 Hart and John Moore (2008) introduce new behavioral assumptions that can explain long-term contracts and the employment relation. We examine experimentally their idea that contracts serve as reference points. The evidence confirms the prediction that there is a trade-off between rigidity and flexibility.
