Countertendency

/ˌkaʊntərˈtɛndənsi/ noun

Definition

An opposing trend, inclination, or direction that works against a primary tendency or general direction of movement.

Etymology

From counter- + tendency. This term combines counter- (meaning opposite or opposing) with tendency, emerging in sociology and history in the 20th century to describe social movements that resist broader trends.

Kelly Says

Climate change denial might be seen as a countertendency to the scientific consensus, showing how human psychology resists information that challenges our worldview!
