Social group is a collection of individuals who have relations with one another that
make them interdependent to some significant degree.
Interdependence – a necessary condition that exists within social groups
because it is what enables its members to pursue shared goals, value and principles.
It differentiates social group from an aggregate, or a mere collection of people within
a particular place and time.
Members of society belong to the following social groups:
1. Primary group –a small, intimate, and less specialized group whereby
members engaged in emotion-based interaction and interdependence over an
extended period of time.
2. Secondary group – a larger, less intimate and more specialized group
whereby members engaged in objective-oriented relationships for a limited
period of time.
3. In-group- a group to which a person belongs, and with which he or she feels
sense of identity. An out-group meanwhile, is a group to which one does not
belong and to which he or she may feel hostility.
4. Reference group – a group which has a strong influence on an individual’s,
beliefs, values, behavior and attitude.
