A phenomenon in which a friend group gangs up on one or more members of the group. Often times when this happens, there will be a ringleader in the group initiating the groupthink interactions toward the victim(s).
There are a few reasons why victims of in-group bullying struggle to stand up for themselves more than victims of out-group bullying:
1. Victims will usually not stand up for themselves against the group members who are mistreating them because they are outnumbered.
2. Victims of this type of bullying may not stand up for themselves is because they fear they will be ousted or rejected in some way from the friend group.
3. Victims of this type of bullying will also not stand up for themselves because they may consider the perpetrators friends and therefore interpret the groupthink behavior toward them as joking.
