Question

Andrew met his roommate Danny when they both joined the Independent Filmmakers Club as freshmen, and they have a large group of mutual friends through that group. More recently, Danny has joined a fraternity and has been inviting Andrew to join him at the frat's parties and other events. Andrew has accepted a few invitations but feels awkward at the fraternity events because he just doesn't identify with the other people who attend. We would describe the filmmakers' club as Andrew's ________ and the fraternity as a(n) ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ingroup; outgroup

Explanation:

An ingroup refers to an restricted small group of people with a shared interest or identity, while someone is considered an outlook when he or she does not belong to a particular ingroup. As a a consequence, Andrew's ingroup is his the filmmakers' club, where he hangs out with Danny and other friends in common. On the other hand, Andrew does not feel comfortable at Danny's fraternity events and he is under the impression that he does not belong.
