Document Summary
Group: two or more people who are independent and interacting with each other to achieve a certain objective. Formal group: a designated work group defined by the structure of an organization. Informal group: a group that isn"t formally structured or determined by an organization. These groups are seen and formed from the need for social contact. Social identity theory: this is a perspective that considers when and why people consider themselves a part of a group. Ingroup favoritism: this is a perspective where we see our group members as better than other people and not everyone in the group is the same. Outgroup: this is an inverse of an ingroup. This means that everyone outside of the group applies but is more identified than other groups. Punctuated-equilibrium model: this is a set of phases that temporary groups experience. Role: this is a set of patterns of expected behavior attributed to someone occupying a certain social unit position.
