Pack Mentality

A simple sleep over has turned into a living lab to study the dynamics of the pack mentality. The bond of friendship cannot last with multiple subjects simultaneously for more than 10 minutes. At the 10 minute mark the bond between one or more of the subjects is strengthened by some catalyst using an activity involving video gaming. As a result the other bonds between subjects weaken due to lack of energy to sustain all bonds equally. This unstable force can lead to explosions of yelling and crying as the weaker bonds try to regain momentum in the pack. As a pack leader emerges he attempts to get all subjects to go in his direction. Stubborn subjects will be rejected from the pack. The mother and father subjects act as a magnetic force field gently guiding the pack back to stability by using their positive and negative forces to regain a  neutral state. This has been coined the " Good Cop - Bad Cop" phenomenon. We will continue to observe the volatile subjects and report our findings.
