Communal Reinforcement

Communal Reinforcement

Communal reinforcement is a social construction when a strong belief is formed if a claim is repeatedly asserted by members of a community, rather than a result of the existence of empirical evidence with the validity of your claim. Communal reinforcement is often a social phenomenon when a concept or notion is repeatedly asserted inside a community, regardless of whether or not sufficient empirical evidence has been presented to help it.
