 WHAT’S IN?
In the previous lesson, the learners identified their social
participation in the different agents of socialization. They
have critically understood the relevant mechanism of social
control in illuminating deviant behavior pre-existing in the
society. They are now ready to be socially involved in their
preferred social groups and be able to explain the content,
processes and consequences of socialization.
Social group is a collection of individuals who have relations with one another that
make them interdependent to some significant degree.
Interdependence – a necessary condition that exists within social groups
because it is what enables its members to pursue shared goals, value and principles.
It differentiates social group from an aggregate, or a mere collection of people within
a particular place and time.
Members of society belong to the following social groups:
1. Primary group –a small, intimate, and less specialized group whereby
members engaged in emotion-based interaction and interdependence over an
extended period of time.
2. Secondary group – a larger, less intimate and more specialized group
whereby members engaged in objective-oriented relationships for a limited
period of time.
3. In-group- a group to which a person belongs, and with which he or she feels
sense of identity. An out-group meanwhile, is a group to which one does not
belong and to which he or she may feel hostility.
4. Reference group – a group which has a strong influence on an individual’s,
beliefs, values, behavior and attitude.
5. Network group –refers to the structure of relationship which has
interconnections, ties, and linkages between people, their groups, and the
larger social institutions to which they all belong.
