The bandwagon effect, closely related to opportunism, is a phenomenon—observed primarily within the fields of microeconomics, political science, and behaviorism—that people often do and believe things merely because many other people do and believe the same things. The effect is often called herd instinct, though strictly speaking, this effect is not a result of herd instinct. The bandwagon effect is the reason for the bandwagon fallacy's success.

The bandwagon effect is well documented in behavioral science and has many applications. The general rule is that conduct or beliefs spread among people, as fads and trends clearly do, with "the probability of any individual adopting it increasing with the proportion who have already done so". As more people come to believe in something, others also "hop on the bandwagon" regardless of the underlying evidence. The tendency to follow the actions or beliefs of others can occur because individuals directly prefer to conform, or because individuals derive information from others. Both explanations have been used for evidence of conformity in psychological experiments. For example, social pressure has been used to explain Asch's conformity experiments, and information has been used to explain Sherif's autokinetic experiment.

When individuals make rational choices based on the information they receive from others, economists have proposed that information cascades can quickly form in which people decide to ignore their personal information signals and follow the behavior of others. Cascades explain why behavior is fragile—people understand that they are based on very limited information. As a result, fads form easily but are also easily dislodged. Such informational effects have been used to explain political bandwagons.

dna from car trunk
not reporting her missing for over a month
skeleton and skull found in woods- duct tape around skull
searched "chloroform" on her computer
falsely told the jury that her father molested her for sympathy
showed no emotion or regret in the courtroom
partied for the month that she didn't report her missing
lied 4 times to police
and last but not least, she made up that ridiculous pool story, and our crap legal system caved and let her off

The girl was innocent of murder. The media is what put info into the minds of people who want to be leave what ever. If they had a rock solid case she would be the one cracking rocks. If she did do it and beat the system than good for her, she will still pay every day she lives with whatever happened. The courts handled it and that should be the end of it. Insted the o.j. theory will take effect.

loads of circumstantial evidence, plus some evidence of hairs from a dead person. I'd imagine that as usual, the defence had experts to dispute it all in some way, but that is often played down by the media.

Well, there was a lot of what they like to call "circumstantial evidence" that implied that Casey killed her daughter. She lied MANY times and people don't usually lie unless they have something to hide. She also never reported her daughter missing and finally 31 days after she went missing, her mother was the one who actually reported her granddaughter missing. Casey was out partying and appeared very happy during that time; not distraught or upset in the least. On her computer, there were internet searches of how to break someone's neck and how to use chloroform to kill someone. Supposedly there was the smell of a decomposing body coming from the trunk of her car and a small amount of Chloroform in the trunk also. The bags in which Caylee's decomposing body are similar to bags found in the Anthony's garage. So yeah, most people think she did it; myself included. The only problem is there was no physical evidence directly linking her to the murder. It's a very similar feel to the OJ Simpson trial. Most people believe he did it, but unfortunately there wasn't enough scientific evidence to pin him on it beyond a reasonable doubt. I believe if forensics could've determined a cause of death of Caylee, it probably would've linked Casey to the murder and she would've been found guilty. Unfortunately, that didn't happen so there was not enough solid, scientific evidence to convict her.

I think a lot of people are up in arms about it and blaming the jurors for saying Casey Anthony is not guilty because they are seeing 'not guilty' meaning the same thing as 'innocent' when that's not the case. I'm willing to bet that some if not all the jurors have suspicions that Casey is technically guilty, but they couldn't convict her with the evidence provided to them.

Im not mad because it shows without evidence you are innocent...there was nothing in the trunk except for 1 hair ...just 1 hair!!!! that they SAY had the type of banding that happens when a person dies...and the smell of death in a car that some said they smelled and some people said they didn't smell anything at all....let me remind you how the father said he knew 100% it was the smell of death and did NOTHING he drove the car home and parked it...wow that is not at all weird!!!!! she did lie a lot but those lies started 2 years before the little girl even died! this was obviously a messed up family and she obviously had a lot of issues...but you cant convict someone with no real evidence..

Well she didn't even report her kid to be missing for a whole month...in fact her mother had to do it. She also lied to police and strangely kept a bag of trash in her car's trunk...I mean who does that? Most people have garbage collectors...Also she claimed to have left Caylee with a certain nanny...this nanny said she didn't even know who Casey or Caylee were. On the other hand, there are pics of Casey on the internet where she hugs Caylee with a big smile...making her look like a loving, sweet, joyful mother, not a cold-blooded killer that wanted to be rid of her kid. I think people just don't want to believe that sweet angel face could have committed such a crime. But I have seen people doing evil things, being cold, then suddenly posing demure and smiley-faced for photos, like they are the sweetest people ever.

She had to be proven guilty of first-degree murder, beyond a reasonable doubt. She might be guilty of killing her child at another threshold (2nd or 3rd degree murder, or manslaughter), but that wasn't what she was being tried for.

Your comment about the women on Facebook is false. Claiming that you never followed the trial, and was able to ascertain the views of all women is absurd.
