Rubber band effect

The emotional snapback move where someone pulls away—ghosting, going cold, or claiming they “need space”—only to return later with affection, apologies, or renewed interest. It’s like watching someone stretch a rubber band to its breaking point… then letting it fly back and sting you in the heart.
“I was finally healing, then she called crying and I got pulled right back in. Rubber band effect, every time.

The Meghan Effect

By advertising, promoting, and/or wearing low inventory merchandise, an illusion is manufactured to deceive investors & customers into supporting a failing celebrity brand. This illusion is meant to deceive consumers into believing that "sold out" equates to popular & profitable.
Meghan Markle borrowed & modeled low inventory fashions and out of season designer clothing. Her "friends" purchased the remaining stock therefore causing the scarce inventory to quickly "sell out" which created The Meghan Effect.

illusory currency effect

A phenomenon where players are more likely to spend money on microtransactions when the purchases are made using in-game currency rather than akcual currencies. This effect occurs because players perceive in-game currency as less tangible, leading to a diminished sense of spending.
Developers capitalize on the illusory currency effect, knowing players are more willing to splurge on cosmetics and upgrades when they can use in-game coins instead of akcual currencies.
