The Pygmalion Effect explains that people tend to perform up to the level that others expect of them. This effect explains why our relationships are usually self-fulfilling prophecies. Once you set expectations for somebody, that person will tend to live up to that expectation, whether it's good or bad.
But the Pygmalion Effect also applies to your personal growth. Your beliefs about yourself impact your actions towards others, which influence their beliefs about you and their actions towards you.
Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. ... In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Tsuda-Effect, in short, the Tsuda-Effect is a complicated phenomenon that occurs to some whenever the famed voice actor Tsuda Kenjiro speaks.
People of all genders will (soon) swoon for the man and thus get affected by the Tsuda-Effect, be it a little hum, a chuckle, or an entire lap of text straight from Tsuda Kenjiro’s voice and the ones who’ve previously been known to be simps, will be hit.
And they will be hit hard, because for at least a week the people who are affected will have reoccurring thoughts about the character he voiced.
— “I… have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
— “The Tsuda-Effect got to me. His voice—I’m simping for a spider. A literal half spider half man—a retired Yakuza who’s now a loving husband, househusband!—a-and blonde dude from a game and he’s immortal and… Oh my god. Help. Help...”
“You cannot be saved—the Tsuda-Effect will stay! And it could get worse over time or it will naturally fade until.. you find another character voiced by him… I’m sorry —.”
— “Ah… all Hail Tsuda I guess.”
