Ovsiankina effect

In psychology, the Ovsiankina effect describes the innate human urge to finish tasks previously initiated. This tendency to resume an interrupted action is especially prevalent when the action hasn't yet been achieved. The effect is named after Maria Ovsiankina, who conducted research on this behavior.
I couldn't focus on my new project because every time I got interrupted, I felt this strong Ovsiankina effect pulling me back to finish what I had started yesterday.

The leader effect

A political and psychological phenomenon where people hate a leader, vote or fight to remove them, then later start wishing they were back in charge — usually after experiencing disappointment with their replacement.

The cycle goes like this:

1. “This leader is awful!”

2. “Let’s get someone better.”

3. “Wait, this is worse.”

4. “Maybe the old guy wasn’t so bad after all…”

5. “We need him back!”

This happens with dictators, presidents, prime ministers — anyone in charge. The Leader Effect is fueled by nostalgia, frustration, instability, and unrealistic expectations.
"Some Iraqis missing Saddam is a clear case of The Leader Effect."

"Voters switching from Trump to Biden, then wanting Trump back shows The Leader Effect."

"After Gaddafi’s fall, Libya went into chaos — The Leader Effect appeared again."

Kaleidoscope Effect

Kaleidoscope Effect: A cognitive and perceptual phenomenon where an individual views their specific religion or belief system as the exclusive truth, thereby limiting their awareness of broader, universal spiritual concepts, such as God = Light + Awareness. This effect can cause individuals to focus narrowly on the patterns and teachings within their own religious framework, much like how a kaleidoscope presents a single, fragmented view, rather than recognizing the interconnected and expansive nature of spiritual reality.

This metaphor captures the idea that, while a kaleidoscope offers beautiful and intricate patterns, it can also restrict one’s view to those patterns alone, obscuring the larger, more unified picture. By naming this effect, you highlight the importance of transcending religious exclusivity to embrace a more inclusive understanding of spirituality.
“Many people experience the kaleidoscope effect, where they see their own religion as the sole path to truth, preventing them from embracing the broader concept of God as Light and Awareness beyond religious boundaries.”
