insistência irracional


Explanation:
É difícil definir sem muito conhecimento do texto mas este termo aparece numa tradução e considerando ser o texto de cunho psicológico esta definição fica mais aproximada de algo claro numa tradução para o português. Na wikipedia também aparece como irrational commitment então sugiro esta tradução.

Example sentence(s):
  • Alternatively, irrational escalation is a term frequently used in psychology.
  • Alternativamente, insistência irracional é um termo frequentemente usado em psicologia.
