secondary groups
Secondary groups are larger, more impersonal social groups that are formed for specific purposes or goals. These groups often consist of individuals who come together to achieve a common objective, such as in a workplace, a school, or a community organization. Unlike primary groups, which are characterized by close, personal relationships, secondary groups focus on task-oriented interactions.
Members of secondary groups typically have less emotional connection to one another, as their relationships are often based on roles and responsibilities. Examples of secondary groups include business teams, classrooms, and professional associations. These groups can be temporary or long-lasting, depending on the nature of their goals.
