50 psychological effects that affect a lifetime, it is recommended to collect
1. Kick the cat effect
A father was criticized by his boss at the company, and when he returned home, he scolded the child who jumped around on the sofa. The child was angry in his heart and kicked the cat rolling around him. The cat fled into the street just as a truck drove by, and the driver quickly avoided it, but hit and injured the child on the side of the road.
This chain reaction of venting dissatisfaction with someone who is weaker than oneself or inferior to oneself is the famous "kicking cat effect" in psychology, which depicts a typical contagion of bad mood.
2. Internal curlization effect
Staying at a simple level for a long time, without development and growth, without any changes and improvements, with a stable level, constantly repeating, and lacking the ability to adapt to upcoming changes, this kind of self-slackness and self-consumption behavior is called the "involution effect".
3. Rosenthal effect
The Rosenthal effect is a psychosocial effect in which a person is given positive expectations that will make him progress faster and better. Conversely, transmitting negative expectations to a person can cause the person to give up on themselves and give up on the effort.
4. Effect of house demolition
Lu XunMrZeng wrote in the article "Silent China" in 1927: "The Chinese always like to reconcile and compromise, for example, if you say that this house is too dark, and say that you open a skylight here, everyone must not allow it." But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will reconcile and be willing to open the skylight. This kind of making big demands first, followed by smaller, fewer demands, is known in psychology as the "demolition effect."
5. Matthew effect
The Matthew effect refers to a phenomenon in which the good get better, the bad gets worse, the more there is, and the less there is, that is, the phenomenon of polarization.
6. Banam effect
People often think that a general, general description of personality reveals their own characteristics very accurately, and when people use some common, vague, and broad adjectives to describe a person, people tend to accept these descriptions and think that what they say is themselves. We call this psychological phenomenon the "Barnum effect."
7. Crane bridge effect
On the suspension bridge, due to the dangerous situation, people will unconsciously increase their heartbeat, if they happen to meet a person of the opposite sex at this time, it is easy for people to mistake the rapid heartbeat caused by this situation as a physiological reaction caused by the other party's heartbeat, so they breed love feelings for the other party. This is known as the "drawbridge effect".
8. Nipple theory
由於生產力的不斷上升，世界上的80%人口將不必也無法積极參與產品和服務的生產。為了避免被邊緣化的80%的人口與20%的精英之間的階級衝突，安慰這些“被遺棄”的人，方法之一就是製造“奶頭”，“奶頭”即令人陶醉的消遣娛樂和充滿感官刺激的產品，比如網路、電視和遊戲等，用這些“奶頭”填滿人們的生活、轉移其注意力和不滿情緒，令其沉浸在“快樂”中，不知不覺喪失思考能力、無心挑戰現有的統治階級。這就是著名的“奶頭樂理論”。
9. Ant effect
The Evolutionary Biology Research Group at Hokkaido University in Japan observed the activity of three black ant colonies consisting of 30 ants each. It was found that most of the ants were very diligent in finding and carrying food, while a few ants were idle and looking around all day long, and they called these ants "lazy ants". After observation, it was found that the "lazy ants" spent most of their time on "reconnaissance" and "research". They are able to see where the tissue is weak while remaining in a state of exploration for new food sources, thus ensuring that the colony is constantly receiving new food sources, which is known as the "lazy ant effect".
10. Halo effect
Once a certain quality of a person or a certain characteristic of an object gives a very good impression, under the influence of this impression, people will also give a good evaluation of other qualities of the person or other characteristics of the object. This psychological phenomenon is known as the "halo effect", also known as the stereotype effect.
11. Tindar effect
The so-called Tyndall effect refers to when a beam of light passes through the colloid, a bright path in the colloid can be observed from the direction of the perpendicular incident light, and we call this phenomenon the Tyndall phenomenon, also known as the Tyndall effect.
12. South wind effect
The French writer La Fontaine once wrote a fable about the north wind and the south wind comparing power to see who could take off the overcoat of a pedestrian. The north wind first came with a cold and bitter cold, so pedestrians wrapped their coats tightly in order to resist the invasion of the north wind. The south wind blew slowly, and suddenly the wind was beautiful, and the pedestrians, feeling warm, began to unbutton and take off their coats. The result was clear, and the south wind triumphed. This is known as the "south wind effect", which means that people should pay attention to the ways and means when dealing with interpersonal relationships.
13. Flight wheel effect
In order to make the stationary flywheel turn, you have to exert a lot of force at first, pushing it repeatedly round and round, each turn is laborious, but the effort of each lap is not in vain, the flywheel will spin faster and faster. After reaching a certain critical point, the gravitational and impulsive forces of the flywheel become part of the driving force. At this point, you don't have to exert any more effort, the flywheel will still spin fast, and it will keep turning. This is the "flywheel effect" and tells us that in the initial stages of doing everything, we must put in enough perseverance and effort.
14. Delayed gratification effect
The choice orientation of being willing to give up or postpone instant gratification for the sake of the long-term, greater good, and maintaining good self-control while waiting, is called "delayed gratification".
15. Black Sky Eagle Effect
Very unpredictable and unusual events, which usually cause a chain negative reaction or even subversion of the market, are called "black swan events", also known as "black swan effects".
16. The first cause effect
The first cause effect was first proposed by the American psychologist Locs, also known as the first effect, priority effect or first impression effect, which refers to the influence of the first impression formed by both parties on the future relationship, that is, the effect of "preconceived". While these first impressions are not always correct, they are the most vivid and solid, and determine the course of future interactions.
17. Proximate effect
In cases where multiple stimuli with different meanings appear sequentially, the determinant of impression formation is the subsequent emergence of new stimuli. For example, if you introduce a person and talk about his strengths first, then "but" and many disadvantages, then the effect of the latter words on the formation of impressions is the "proximate effect", that is, the psychological effect of the latest stimulus that promotes the formation of impressions.
18. Mushroom effect
The mushroom grows in dark corners, has no sunlight and no fertilizer, and only grows tall enough to start being noticed, but by this time it is already able to accept sunlight on its own. This phenomenon is known as the "mushroom effect". The mushroom effect tells us that suffering is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for those young people who have just entered the society and put on the job, as a "mushroom" for a period of time, they can better understand all kinds of people and things, and lay a solid foundation for future development.
19. Seahorse effect
Something or a scene that has never been experienced before gives people a sense of déjà vu at a certain moment, as if they had actually experienced it at a certain time and place before. This is known as the "hippocampal effect".
20. The law of wooden barrels
The amount of water in a barrel does not depend on the tallest block on the barrel wall, but on the shortest piece on the barrel wall. From this, two inferences can be made: first, that a barrel can be filled with water only if all the planks on the barrel wall are high enough; Second, as long as one of the barrels is not high enough, the water in the barrel cannot be full. This is known as the "Cask Law", which says that a cask is made of multiple planks, and its value lies in the amount of water it holds, but the key factor that determines the amount of water in a cask is not its longest plate, but its shortest plate.
21. The law of watches
When a person has a watch, he can know what time it is, but when he has two or more watches at the same time, he cannot be sure. Owning more than two watches does not help people judge the time more accurately, but creates confusion and makes the person looking at the watch lose the correct judgment of the time. This is known as the "Law of Watches".
22. Broken window effect
If someone breaks the window pane of a building and the window is not repaired in time, others may be given some exemplary connivance to break more windows. Over time, these broken windows create a sense of disorder, and as a result, crime thrives and flourishes in this atmosphere of public insensitivity. This is known as the "broken window effect", which means that if undesirable phenomena in the environment are allowed to exist, they will tempt people to imitate them, or even exacerbate them.
23. Exposure effect
We will prefer things that we are familiar with, and the more familiar things we are, the more favorable we will be, and as long as they occur frequently, we can increase the degree of liking. This phenomenon of liking things more often than you know is called the "exposure effect" or "seeing more effect" in psychology. The exposure effect tells us that if you want to enhance your interpersonal attraction, you need to improve your familiarity with others, which can increase the degree to which others like you.
24. The law of twenty-eight
20% of the people in the society own 0% of the wealth of the society. The "28th Law" holds that there is an inexplicable imbalance between cause and effect, input and output, effort and reward, and if this imbalance is measured mathematically, the baseline is a 0/0 relationship.
0, 0 division
In impression psychology, the rule of 100 is also called the rotten melon seed effect. A person's impression, although we usually only have 0% of the attitude is bad, but for the people we associate with, this 0% bad attitude is equal to 0% of the bad attitude, thus forming a bad impression.
This is the famous "0 point rule", which tells us to pursue "0 defects" in product quality and "0 mistakes" in service quality.
20, 0 mile rule
從美國西海岸聖地牙哥到某個地方有三千英里的路程，這段路程地貌十分複雜，而且經常會遭遇天氣變化。那麼，每天該走多少英里才是一個合適的速度呢？答案是：日行20英里，即每天走32公里。這就是著名的“20英里法則”，告訴我們如果想做成一件事，不能盲目地追求一時的拚命努力，應該要學會保持自律，在諸多外界不確定因素的影響下保持內心的穩定，不懼風雨、持之以恆，才能按計劃完成既定目標。

25. MiG-0 effect
The MiG-25 jet fighter developed and produced by the former Soviet Union is widely favored by all countries in the world for its superior performance, however, many aircraft manufacturing experts are surprised to find that many parts and components used in the MiG-0 fighter are far behind those of the United States fighters, and its overall combat performance has reached or even surpassed the fighters produced by the United States and other countries during the same period. The reason for this phenomenon is that the MiG company considered the whole in the design and carried out a more coordinated combination design of various parts, so that the aircraft surpassed the American fighter in terms of lift, speed, emergency response and other aspects and became the world's first class at that time. This unexpected effect caused by the combination and coordination is called the "MiG-0 effect" by later generations. The MiG-0 effect tells us that whether the internal structure of a thing is reasonable or not has a great deal to do with its overall function.
The law of 250, 0
Behind each customer, there are about 250 relatives and friends. If you win the favor of one customer, it means that you have won the favor of 0 people; Conversely, if you offend one customer, it means that you offend 0 customers. This is the famous "Law of 0", which tells us that we must take everyone around us seriously.
30. Butterfly effect
A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, could cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later. The reason for this is that the movement of the butterfly's wings causes changes in the air system around it, and causes the generation of weak air currents, which in turn cause corresponding changes in the air or other systems around it, which causes a chain reaction, and eventually leads to great changes in other systems. This is the famous "butterfly effect", which refers to the result of the development of things, which is extremely sensitive to the initial conditions, and the slightest deviation from the initial conditions can cause a large difference in the results.
31. Frog effect
Placing a frog in a boiling cauldron, the frog immediately jumped out like an electric shock and landed safely. Later, people put it in a large pot filled with cold water, let it swim freely, and then slowly heat it over low heat, although the frog can feel the change in the outside temperature, but because of inertia, it does not jump out immediately, and when it feels unbearable, it is too late. This is known as the "frog effect", also known as the "boiled frog rule" or the "warm frog effect".
32. Bird basket effect
If a person buys an empty birdcage and keeps it in the living room of his home, after a while, he usually throws away the birdcage or buys a bird to raise it again. This is the famous "birdcage effect", which is one of the top ten psychology that human beings are difficult to get rid of.
33. Caterpillar effect
Put many caterpillars on the edge of a flower pot so that they are end to end, in a circle, and not far around the pot, sprinkle some pine leaves that caterpillars like to eat. The caterpillars began to walk one by one, in circles around the edge of the pot, and an hour passed, and a day passed, and day after day, and the caterpillars still circled around the edge of the pot day and night, for seven days and seven nights, and finally they died of hunger and exhaustion. Scientists call this habit of following the route ahead of them the habit of "followers"; The phenomenon of failure due to following is called the "caterpillar effect", also known as the "caterpillar law".
34. Herd effect
The flock is a very scattered organization, and usually blindly rushes left and right together, but once one of the sheep moves, the other sheep will rush up without thinking, completely ignoring the wolves that may be next to them and the better grass not far away.

35. Hedgehog law
On a cold winter day, two sleepy hedgehogs hugged each other because of the cold, but they couldn't sleep comfortably anyway, because they were each covered with thorns, and being next to each other would sting each other, and they couldn't sleep peacefully. Therefore, the two hedgehogs left a distance, but it was too cold to bear, so they hugged each other again. After tossing and turning several times, they finally found a suitable distance to keep each other warm without being pricked. This is also known as the "psychological distance effect" in the interpersonal process. The "Hedgehog Rule" emphasizes the "psychological distance effect" in interpersonal communication.
36. Cattle fly effect
As a teenager, Lincoln farmed the land on a farm in his hometown of Kentucky. The oxen who ploughed the land were lazy and often grinded, and Lincoln could do nothing about it.

They survive by sucking the blood of animals, no matter how angry and wild the wild horses are, they can't do anything about this "little guy", they can calmly suck their fill and then leave, and many wild horses are tortured to death. Zoologists have found that vampire bats suck very little blood, far enough to kill wild horses, whose causes of death are rage and wild running.

This is known as the "crocodile effect", also known as the "crocodile rule", which is often applied to the stock trading market, that is, when you find that your trade deviates from the direction of the market, you must immediately stop the loss, without any delay, without any luck.
39. Fish effect
Norwegians love to eat sardines, especially live fish. The price of live fish in the market is much higher than that of dead fish, so fishermen always try to find a way to bring live sardines back to port. Despite all these efforts, most sardines suffocate to death. Later, someone put a catfish in the tank containing sardines, which mainly feeds on fish. The sardines saw the catfish hiding everywhere, so that the problem of lack of oxygen was solved, and most of them returned to the fishing port alive.
