Abstract
In a replication of Ariely, Kamenica & Prelec(2008) we found that repetitive task performance was negatively related to individual differences in the need for sense-making. However, when the task was more meaningful, need for sense-making was positively related to task performance through searching and presence of meaning in the task.
