others in a meaningful
interaction.

Main Types of Social Groups (According to
Social Ties)
Based on level and depth:
1. Primary Group
2. Secondary Group
Primary Group
Is a small, intimate, and less specialized group whose
members engage in face-to-face and emotion-based
interactions over an extended period of time.
Secondary Group
• Are larger, less intimate, and more specialized groups where
members engage in an impersonal and objective-oriented
relationship for a limited period of time.
Secondary Types of Social Groups
1. In-groups and Out-groups
2. Reference Groups
3. Networks
In-groups and Out-groups
• In-groups and Out-groups (According to Self-Categorization Theory)
• When some of our in-groups misbehaves, the natural reaction is often to dismiss
the behavior as no big deal. But, when someone in our out-group does the same
thing, we will tend to judge the behavior much more harshly.
In-groups and Out-groups
Indeed, when automatic in-group and out-group distinctions replace conscious and
thoughtful reflection, we are more likely to harm one another and behave
unethically.
Reference Groups
