Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The teasing by the group of boys is likely to create an us-versus-them attitude among Ezio and his friends, as they start seeing themselves as a distinct group (us) in opposition to the boys who are teasing them (them). This is a common response to perceived threats from an out-group, and can lead to further conflicts and tensions between the two groups. The Robber's Cave effect, realistic conflict, and out-group mentality are all related concepts that may also come into play in this situation, but they do not fully capture the dynamic of the us-versus-them attitude that is likely to develop among Ezio and his friends.
