The red shirt effect is the popular name for induced apathia, a phenomenon that allows people to encounter death and suffering of others with little emotional energy.

Origin of the Popular Name

The Red Shirts are those red-shirted guys in Star Trek who have no name and always die, especially on away missions. They tend to get shot, be eaten alive, be eaten dead, have their blood drained, be stabbed mercilessly, have a giant spear shoved through the chest, fall down bottomless pits, get mauled by hideous animals, get vaporized by angry energy beings, or occasionally fail to rematerialize during teleportation. These red-shirted personnel have no families that matter nor do they have memorial services. None of the command crew remember the sacrifices that the red-shirted have made for the good of the United Federation of Planets.
