Repetitionism (n.) 


The mistaken belief that if one just keeps doing what one is already doing (despite the total lack of evidence that this will be in any way effective or successful) then things will eventually work out. 

Cf. ‘persistophilia’. Differentiating between persistophilia and repetitionism is an as yet poorly understood field of human knowledge, and is in fact one of life's greatest challenges.
