status or prestige in society. [concept articulated by German
philosopher and sociologist Georg Simmel (1858–1918)]

Roles are culturally defined
rights and duties
I am performing a role right
now .So are you..(at least I
hope you are.)

and privileges attached to a particular social status.
➢ Thus, the distinction between status and role is
simple : “ You occupy a status, but you play a role. “

feeling of unity and who are bound
together in a relatively stable pattern of
social interaction(Hughes and Kroehler,
2005)

26. GROUP(S)
• is a unit of in interacting personalities which an
interdependence of roles and statuses existing between
the members.
• is a collection of people interacting together in an
orderly way in the basis of shared expectations about
each other’s behavior.
Most social behavior takes place within and among groups that are
constantly being formed and reformed

27. TYPES OF GROUPS
MainTypes:
Primary group
Secondary Group
TypesAccordingtoSelf-Identification
• In-group
• Out-group
• Reference Group

28. 2 Main Types of Groups
Examples: families, cliques of friends and
peers, and close neighbors
• These groups are important building
blocks of social structure
• Consist of a small number of people who
interact over a relatively long period on a
direct, intimate basis
• Consists of people who interact on a
relatively temporary anonymous, and
impersonal basis
Examples : formal organizations, political
parties, government bureaucracies
• They are increasingly important in large
modern societies

group with which an
individual does not
identify.
In-group is a social group to
which a person psychologically
identifies as being a member.
• are values oriented. They are those in
which we belong and identify with. They
can be morally at odds with society or
merely be of a different nature
(subculture).
Types of Group According to Self-Identification

31. REFERENCE/
PSYCHOLOGICAL
GROUP
✓ Groups to which we
consciously or unconsciously
refer when we evaluate our
life situation and behavior but
to which we do not
necessarily belong

function
✓ It has a normative function
(
Reference groups can be the
number of things including family,
friends, and the media.

32. Reference Groups are
essential if rarely
thought about. They
are a source of
psychological
identification.
“When our membership group
does not match our reference
feelings of relative deprivation–
disconnect associated with the
gap between what we
have…and what we believe we
should have “. (Hughes and
Kroehler,2005)
What is your reference group ?
