The John Henry effect refers to when members of a comparison group increase their efforts when they become aware that they are being denied some advantages or resources. This phenomenon is named after a folk tale in which John Henry, a steel driver, worked harder and faster than a steam-powered machine in order to prove his worth and prevent the machine from replacing him. The other options (maturation, selection bias, and demoralization) do not specifically refer to this phenomenon.
