Editing Communal reinforcement (section)

==In other applications==
In [[Chris Stout (psychologist)|Chris E. Stout]]'s book ''The Psychology of Terrorism: Theoretical Understandings and Perspective'', Stout explains how community reinforcement is present in the psychotic state of [[terrorists]]. "The individual would feel less charged, validated, courageous, sanctified, and zealous, and would feel exposed as an individual." It is believed that the group mentality of a [[terrorist organization]] solidifies the mission of the group through communal reinforcement. Members are more likely to stay dedicated and follow through with the event of terror if they receive support from fellow terrorist members. An individual might abandon the mission in terror, but with the reinforcement of his peers, a member is more likely to stay involved.<ref>{{Google books |id=5BHgVzlHGYUC |page=131 |title=The Psychology of Terrorism: Theoretical Understandings and Perspectives }}</ref>
