SOCIAL GROUP
a social group
is a number of individuals interacting with each other with respect to:
1. Common motives and goals;
2. An accepted division of labor, i.e.
roles,
3. Established status (social rank,
dominance) relationships;
4. Accepted norms and values with
reference to matters relevant to the group;

or short and
simple:
A group of
people who interact with each other and are aware of having something in
common.
A social group
consists of two or more people who regularly interact and consider themselves a
part of the group. Sociologists differentiate between several different types
of social groups. Enduring primary groups are those that are close-knit and
intimate and are typically small scale. Most of our primary groups consist of
family and close friends. The nuclear family, which is a pair of adults and
their children, is considered the ideal primary group. Secondary groups are those
that are more impersonal and temporary. Most of our secondary groups are from
work and school. Finally, reference groups are those that we look to for
guidance when evaluating our own behaviors and attitudes. They act as a role
model to which we can compare ourselves.
