A) Jordan and Doris are part of the out-group.

B) Doris and Jordan are part of the in-group.)

Answer:

The correct answer is A.) Jordan and Doris are part of the out-group.

Explanation:

In psychology, in-group and out-group reffers to the psychological identification an individual has as being or not a member in a social group, when the individual is part of the in-group he feels identified as being a member and on the contrary when is part of the out-grop the individual doesn't feel identified by it. In Doris and Jodran's case they are clearly part of the out-group because they don't feel identified anymore with the group because of the play situation, and cause them to rarely see the other teens.
