Named, observable psychological effects and patterns of thought, feeling or behavior that recur across individuals and situations, such as cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, the bystander effect, the Dunning-Kruger effect, groupthink and the placebo effect. This is distinct from the formal explanatory frameworks filed under Theories and Concepts, which account for why a phenomenon occurs, and from the individual research projects that first identified or tested one, filed under Studies and Experiments. Belongs here: a named recurring effect or pattern in mental life or behavior that can be described and illustrated independently of any single study. Does not belong here: the theory built to explain a phenomenon's underlying mechanism, filed under Theories and Concepts, and the specific experiment or study that discovered or tested it, filed under Studies and Experiments, even though a phenomenon entity should still connect to both.
