The effect on ne'er-do-wells caused by the presence of an apparent authority that is not law enforcement (e.g. Chris Hansen in Dateline: To Catch A Predator). The Effect usually causes the affected individual to spill their guts and make emotional pleas, or say "I'm just being stupid, I guess".

"I saw a man jerking off in his car as I was walking past, and I knocked on the window to warn him there were police hanging around. I guess I must've put the ol' Chris Hansen Effect on him, since as soon as he realized he had been caught, he began telling me about how shit his life is and how this was his first time."

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
