Document Summary
Family (often said to be the most important group we have) If you perceive it to be a group, it is. Two or more individuals who are connected to one another by and within social relationships (must be influential and purposeful) Understand types of groups categories, aggregate and collective on test you will have to compare these against a group* A collective is closer to becoming a group than the other two but all three can become groups* Ex of collective that becomes a group - sully get together at reunions, stay in touch, etc. Cooley drew a distinction between primary and secondary groups. Cartright and zander reluctant to classify groups as cooley did underestimated the complexity of groups. Planned group: a group that is deliberately formed by its members or an external authority. Emergent group: a group can result from basically nothing. A group is created gradually as individuals interact with the same subset of individuals.
