The phenomenon by which females become exponentially "girlier" when they congregate in larger and larger groups. This is thought to be caused by the increased availability of estrogen, the "female" hormone, within a given radius. Some hypothesize that ovaries serve a role in communicating with each other under such circumstances. It should be noted that Estrogen Amplification also occurs in post-menopausal women.
The loud, uncontrolled giggling in the office next to me is the tell-tale sign that 5 or more females are in the same room - surely, estrogen amplification has occurred.

The (extreme) reinforcement (read: over-hyping) of ideas and/or beliefs that occurs when like-minded people communicate with each other.
Meeting Chairperson: Tonight, we're going to discuss the genius of President George Bush... (to person leaving) Excuse me, where are you going?
Smart person leaving: Someplace where I won't get brain damaged from the impending incestuous amplification.

Intelligence amplification, or I.A.
Humans increase their knowledge and wisdom and are smarter in making decissions by pooling their knowledge with other people and with computers.

He may not be the smartest guy on Wall Street but his intelligence amplification techniques greatly increase his ability to think. Now with a lot of moral amplification he should be able to use his moral compass to chart a new course in life.

The Internet Amplification Effect is the effect the internet has on certain individuals and on society at large of taking traits that are within the person or society in question and, when exposed to the internet on site comment sections or forums, amplifies those traits to extremes.
Steve in real life is a political moderate, but when on the internet due to the Internet Amplification Effect he becomes a radical.
