A group is composed of two or more persons interacting with each other and guided by a set of norms. Itis also defined as specified number of individuals where each recognizes members as distinct from non-members. Basic Classifications of Social Groups 4. Primary Groups Primary groups are marked by concem for one another, shared activities and culture, and long periods of time spent together. They are influential in developing an individual's personal identity. The goal of primary groups is actually the relationships themselves rather than achieving some other purpose. The examples of a primary group but not limited to be your family and childhood and close friends. The concept of the primary group was introduced by Charles Cooley in his book, Social Organization: A Study of the Larger Mind. (Contreras, Antonio P. et al. “Social Groups”. Understanding Culture, Society and Politics. Quezon City: Phoenix Publishing House, Inc. 2016) ‘Sample Groups: Family, Play group, Village/Neighborhood, Work-team 2. Secondary Groups Secondary relationships involve weak emotional ties and little personal knowledge of one another. In contrast to primary groups, secondary groups don’t have the goal of maintaining and developing the relationships themselves. These groups are based on usual or habitual interests or affairs. It includes groups in which one exchanges explicit commodities, such as labor for wages, services for payments, and such. Sample Groups: Nation, Church Hierarchy, Professional Association, Corporation, University classes, Athletic teams, and groups of coworkers. 3. In-group Belonging to the same group as others who share the same common bond and interests who are more likely to understand each other refers to an in- group. ‘Sample Groups: Sports team, Unions and Sororities The best example of “in-group” is something like a club or a church. Anyone outside of these formal in groups might be considered an out group. For example: If | was part of my ABM Society Club, | would be part of the ABM Society Club. Anyone who is not part of this club (ex. most of my friends) would be considered part of the “out- group” as far as the standards of the club go. A more exclusive or complete “in-group” might be a formal church. Anyone outside of the church is an “outsider” to the church so most people in the church don't consider them part of their “in-group.” Therefore, those members are part of an out group. I would also propose that it is possible to have an informal “in-group.” This might be in relation to knowledge or status. It may not be explicit, but it remains to be not inclusionary. An example | would use for this is the fine art community. In order to establish who is part of the “in: group,” the members of this community would informally establish certain knowledge parameters for isolating outsiders. They might ask you about a painting and your answer categorizes them in your brain as one of the people who “knows about art (in-group)" or “doesn't know about art (out- group)” 4, Out-group Those who do not belong to the in-group are part of the out-group, which exist in the perceptions of the in group members and takes on social reality as a result of behavior by in-group members who use the out group as a negative point of reference. hitps://www. hetwebsite.ne/het/profiles/sumner. htm William Graham Sumner introduced the concept of in-groups and out-groups to describe the relations among different groups of a primitive society. He distinguished those that are in relation with one another—the “we” group— and those that are outside this relationship —the “others” group. 5. Reference Groups A reference group is a collection of people that we use as a standard of comparison for ourselves regardless of whether we are part of that group. We rely on reference groups to understand social norms, which then shape our values, ideas, behavior, and appearance. This means that we also use them to evaluate the relative worth, desirability, or appropriateness of these things. Positive reference groups are those groups of which one aspires to be part. Negative reference groups are groups which people do not want to identify with. https:/www.amazon.com/Readings-Reference-Group-Theory-Research/dp/0029157005 Herbert Hyman became an author of books and a well-known researcher focusing on the topics like education, socialization, and attitude change. 6. Network A network is a collection of people tied together by a specific pattern of connections. They can be characterized by the number of people involved, as in the dyad (by twos) and triad (by threes), but also in terms of their structures (who is connected to whom) and functions (what flows across ties). Networks indeed, are able to do more things and different things than individuals acting on their own could. Networks have this effect, regardless of the content of the connections or persons involved. http://www.prometheusanalytics.net/products/prometheus-networks (follow Chicago Manual of Style) Bell, K.
