siege mentality
Siege mentality is a shared feeling of victimization and defensiveness—a term derived from the actual experience of military defences of real sieges. It is a collective state of mind whereby a group of people believes themselves constantly attacked, oppressed, or isolated in the face of the negative intentions of the rest of the world. Although a group phenomenon, the term describes both the emotions and thoughts of the group as a whole, and as individuals.〔D. J. Christie, ''The Encyclopedia of peace Psychology v1'' (2011) p. 997〕
The result is a state of being overly fearful of surrounding peoples, and an intractably defensive attitude.
==Characteristics==
Among the consequences of a siege mentality are black and white thinking, social conformity, and lack of trust, but also a preparedness for the worst and a strong sense of social cohesion.〔Christie, p. 998〕
