There may be other meaning of crab mentality but this is how I understand it, the way I understand crab mentality is when a person does not want an another individual to advance in life. When this person does not want this other person to advance it means it will do some kind of sinister things to stop it from happening like withholding some vital information which the person might use on the advancement of that person's life.
I might associate it with jealousy or what I call it "jelly" but it's different from jelly because when your jelly it stops right there you don't do anything about it. Crab mentality involves actions which just like the crab you put the other person down with your claws.
You might argue that about my understanding of crab mentality but that's how I understand it. In the news it is used to describe our culture which is when someone that attains fame or goal other people tries to make bad comments on them it's much like trolling in the internet. The media says these people have crab mentality that they don't like their countrymen to advance in life. This is somewhat true but I will try to defend this people who troll other people, it depends on the situation and the person being trolled. For example if that person who attains fame has a bad reputation or he or she attains the fame by means of unethical ways then for me that person is deserved to be trolled. A real life example of this is when a bieber like individual who attains international fame and forgot his or her roots. She or He even develops a fake accent and tries to forget her or his native tongue, now that deserves some trolli'n!
