    Social groups are collections of people who regularly interact based on shared expectations of behavior and a sense of common identity. There are three main types of groups: 1) primary groups which are small and characterized by intimate, long-lasting relationships; 2) secondary groups which can be large or small and are bound together more by common interests than relationships; and 3) reference groups which people compare themselves to and identify with or distinguish themselves from. Groups can also be classified based on their organization (formal vs informal) and membership (open vs closed).
