    Social groups refer to two or more people who interact and see themselves as a unit. It is human nature to form relationships to satisfy our need for belonging, acceptance, and affiliation. There are different types of social groups. A primary group is personal in nature and provides deep emotional connection and security, such as family. Friendship groups are also important as we grow and develop through our friends. A clique is an exclusive group whose members interact intensely and can exert strong peer pressure on one another, with a recognized leader like a "Queen Bee".

    ▸ Social group refers to two or more people who interact with

    one another and refer to themselves as a social unit. It is


    human nature to relate with people. It is our way of making
    connections that satisfy an important need: sense of
    belonging, acceptance, and affiliations. You will encounter
    many different groups as you expand your social network.
    Each group will have its own characteristics which you need
    to be aware so you can interact with the members well and
    establish good relationships with them. You will be part of a
    number of groups in your lifetime, each will be unique in
    terms of the group members importance and effects on you.
    PRIMARY GROUP

    ▸ This group is personal or intimate in nature, the interaction in


    a primary group is regular, and the bond usually lasts for a
    long time. It is not so much concerned with tasks; rather, it
    looks after deep emotional connection and sense of security
    of its members. You connect your identity with this kind of
    group. A family is an example of a primary group. Your peers
    of barkada are also considered a primary group. Why do you
    think so?
    THE NORM

    ▸ This is the reference group to which you base you


    assessment. It holds the relative standard that indicates what
    is typically or average. The group has its rules of behavior
    which the members follow. For example, classroom norms in
    grade school and in high school are different. Thus, students
    class-room behavior will depend significantly on which
    reference group they belong to.
    FRIENDSHIP

    ▸ As you grow, your social ties also expand and deepen.


    Friendship is one of the most important and meaningful
    interpersonal connections you have. At this point, you are
    growing through and with your friends. Your friends are the
    people you often spend time with. You share a lot of
    experiences that bind you together for a long time.
    ▸ Based on your experience, how will you personally define
    friendship?
    As you establish friendship with people, you find yourself part of
    a group (“barkada”) who would spend time together and share
    common interests and activities. Friendship has its own beauty
    and meaning that has inspired a lot of artists to create songs,
    poems, and art works to celebrate this special bond. Apo Hiking
    Society’s “Awit ng Barkada” is an original Filipino song that talks
    about typical shared experiences (pinagsamahan) among
    friends and what friends can do for each other. Other timeless
    songs include “In May Life” by the Beatles and “I’ll Be There For
    You” by the Rembrandts.
    There is also another kind of grouping that is characteristically
    more tight and intense than friendship. It is called Cliques. A
    clique is an exclusive or tight group whose members interact
    more intensely to the relative exclusion of others who are
    nonmembers. During adolescent period, cliques are prevalent in
    social setting like the school. It is common to hear social
    groupings called norms, and it’s interplay with group pressure.
    The structure of a clique is not quite the usual friendship circle
    as it seems more predisposed to peer pressure, and exerts
    stronger social influence among members. There is an
    acknowledged leader within the group.
    “Queen Bee” is a typical label to a leader of a clique with female
    members. She has the charisma, status, “power”, and popularity
    that can exert influence on the members. Males also have
    cliques, and also have a recognized leader. Cliques are not
    necessarily gender exclusive. There can also be a mix of males
    and females in this kind of grouping, especially an adolescents
    tend to associate with a variety of people as they transition to
    adulthood. Cliques tend to be transitory in nature since more
    personal relationships are established as an individual matures.
