Positive feedback sounds like a good thing but can be very bad indeed, think about the howling you can get from sound systems or a machine shaking itself to pieces under certain operating conditions. | |

| Dec 11, 2016 at 13:10 | comment | added | Jacinto | Psychologists have identified a related phenomenon they call group polarisation. Say individuals start with a range of views on a topic; then group interaction reinforces any initial tendency, so that the group will be more extreme than individuals were on average at the start. But the way you put it sounds more like everybody is always waiting for a new thing to jump on to the bandwagon. Hey, bandwagon culture? | |
