Document Summary
Differentiating elements of non-social vs. social groups. Interaction: members of the group need to have the ability to interact. Can be a large context where everyone is somewhat intertwined (i. e. , stadium) Groups have social norms to guide behaviour. The implicit or explicit rules of a group about the acceptable behaviours, values, and beliefs of its members. Group members are expected to conform to these norms: when one doesn"t conform, it puts the group in a state of threat, uncertain about the cohesiveness of the group as well as the group"s function. Members who deviate from norms are punished or rejected. I. e. , uc berkeley"s naked guy : violated norms of wearing clothes. Social roles shared expectation about how particular groups members should behave. In a family, everyone has a different role. If kids talk back to parents, they get into trouble; norm of not speaking up and talking back to your parents.
