Danish teambuilder effect

When a Danish person becomes a teambuilder, they realise that Icelandic people are the best option for a partner and before long, they give up on other nationalities. What follows is a trip to Iceland often followed by a couple months of living in Iceland. Unfortunately the Icelandic partner ultimately wants to move to Aarhus, for all Icelandic people have a deep seated loathing for their own country and wish to leave

Bundy Effect

The Bundy effect is a psychological and social phenomenon in which an individual’s physical attractiveness, charm, or charisma distracts others from recognizing or acknowledging their dangerous, manipulative, or criminal behavior. Named after serial killer Ted Bundy, who notoriously used his good looks and persuasive demeanor to gain the trust of his victims and manipulate public perception, the Bundy effect highlights how people may underestimate or excuse harmful actions due to superficial traits.
“Despite multiple red flags in his behavior, the Bundy Effect was in full force—everyone was too charmed by his confidence and smile to see the manipulation underneath.”

Fosca effect

In the novel of Simone de Beauvoir, Fosca is a man who is the only one who cannot die. However, he becomes unhappy because all his friends die and leave him. The Fosca effect is therefore the feeling of an old person when he or she outlives their friends and the other people around them also disappear. It is a mixture of melancholy, pride and the guilt of still being alive.
Why is your father so sad? It's the Fosca effect, another one of his school friends has died.

I really must write my memoirs. It's probably the Fosca effect: if I don't do it, who else will?
The Fosca effect is quite natural when you get very old.
