A social group is a set of people with similarities and possess some common identity; the social group is important to help improve the social interaction between people. In-groups and out-groups are different in several aspects.
EXPLANATION:
Here are some differences between in-group and out-group:
1. In-group is a group where someone or an individual can identify himself. The examples are in-group family and in-group college. On the other hand, the out-group is the group where someone or an individual cannot identify himself.
2. The in-group uses the term “we” to refer to its members or participants. The out-group uses the term “they” for those who are out of the group.
3. Someone belongs to his in-group but he doesn’t belong to his out-group.
4. The in-group is based on ethnocentrism where out-group is not.
5. In-group is about similarities among its members: attitude, goal, behavior, point of view, and opinion. Yet, the out-group is about differences among people’s attitudes, goals, behavior, point of view, and opinion.
6. In-group members have a positive attitude toward other members who belong to the same group. Yet, they have a negative attitude toward out-groups members. In-group members support each other where they rarely or never support those who belong to the out-group.
7. In-group builds co-operation, mutual help, good-will, and possess a sense of solidarity among its members. Yet, the out-group shows dislike, avoidance, antagonism, and indifference.
8. In-group is where someone belongs to a certain group, where out-groups are where he doesn’t belong to it.
