In group cohesion is increased when a group faces an outside threat. Tension within the group, including challenge to leadership is often handled through misplaced aggression. Group members love their leader and the leader maintains the wellbeing of the group. Therefore, when this leadership is challenged, the leader would try to place the aggression within the group onto to another problem the group has to face. Then the group members start relying on the leader once more and focus on the 'enemy'. Personally, this has happened at my house when two or more family members fight. Especially when two siblings fight (older sibling and younger sibling) The older siblings's authority is challenged by the younger sibling. But when the family has to face a financial problem, tension between the siblings is placed on the financial issue and harmony is established.
