Parents
[edit]I changed the line about parents taking care of their children so their children will take care of them in their old age to parents taking care of their parents so that their children will take care of them in their old age. The first effect exists, but is usually called the "refrigerator" effect, since one can feed fruit to children who will later provide fruit to their old parents. The second effect is the demonstration effect.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.192.245.229 (talk) 04:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Removed text about India
[edit]This section was added by anonymous editors, and originally read "Goldman Sachs" instead of "Lehman Brothers". I was unable to substantiate it with a quick web search. Feel free to re-add if you can find a suitable reference.
Lehman Brothers believes that the demonstration effect is encouraging more domestic[where?] firms to set up in the information technology industry or increase research and development spending. It believes this is leading to an increase in the country's productivity, pushing India on the way to 10% growth, alongside a number of other factors such as the Golden Quadrilateral and a rise in the financial sector.[citation needed]

German crosslink
[edit]The cross-linked German article has nothing to do with this psychological concept. The German article is about something like Murphy's law (embarrassment while failing to show off an achievement, or while unsuccessfully trying to reproduce a problem in front of an expert). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.24.236.18 (talk) 15:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
