Question

PSY 257

At some point, we have all been part of some group. Think about the groups you belong to .... when we think about it, we likely belong to more than one group just in the course of our family and work life. Beyond that, maybe we are in the workplace, participate in sports, belong to a religious group, engage in a club, etc.

Name the groups to which you belong and why you would consider them groups. Then identify some of the components and facets that such group membership involves. No personal information is required. If you prefer not to name a group, think of a fictional character and the groups to which that person might belong - then describe in detail based on the assignment.

Introduction

Social psychology is one of the branches of psychology that deals with how the society influences individual behaviour, thoughts, feelings and relations with others. Group membership is an essential part of a human as it plays very important roles. Groups can guide, control and direct individual actions and behaviour and make them do or not do certain things. That is why psychologists are concerned with understanding group membership and its various facets.
