Social defeat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In social psychology, social defeat is the negative experience of being excluded from the majority group. The term is used in the study of the physiological and behavioral effects of hostile interactions among either animals or humans, in either a dyadic or in a group-individual context, potentially greatly affecting control over resources, access to mates, and social positions.
