A social group is two or more individuals that interact with each other, share similar characteristics, and have a sense of unity. A social group could be two individuals in a relationship, or a family of four, or a large peer network. The size of the group is inconsequential, as long as the characteristics of a social group are satisfied. For instance, consider a chess club, whose members interact with each other through chess, share similar personality traits, and who are unified by competition and a shared identity. Next, a reference group is a group that an individual or another group is compared to. The reference group provides a benchmark for making comparisons and contrasts and can be a helpful tool for an individual to discover their self-identity, social identity, and attitudes. A reference group is not necessarily a group that an individual is a part of. For example, a high school student may look up to college students as a reference group and choose to model their behavior after certain characteristics attributable to college students. Primary groups are small social groups whose members share close, personal, and long-lasting relationships. The two standard examples for primary groups are family and close childhood friends because these are individuals whom with you are likely to share meaningful and long-lasting ties. Secondary groups are those whose members interact on a less personal level than primary groups. The relationships between the members of a secondary group are typically impersonal, goal-oriented, and temporary, such as the relationships between most coworkers. On a day to day basis, we often subconsciously categorize groups as in groups or out groups. The best way to think about in groups and out groups is by the phrase “us versus them”. An in group is a group that you feel you belong to, and so you refer to the group as “us”. Being part of an in group, we typically treat other members of the in group with undue favoritism and preference. An out group is a group that you do not see yourself as belonging to, and so you would refer to the group as “them”. For example, if you are a boy, girls are an out group. Typically, we often unfairly stereotype or mistreat members of an outgroup, because we see them as outsiders.
