Answer to Question 1

A clique is a small group of friends who are similar in age, sex, and race. Some examples of cliques from high school include a group of the only five Asian, high-achieving females and the six males who were in the chess club together. A crowd is a larger mixed-sex group of older children or adolescents who have similar values and attitudes and are known by a common label such as jocks or nerds. Some examples of crowds from high school include the group of jocks who made up the male and female basketball teams and the group of thespian males and females who participated in all theater performances. Dominance hierarchy is the ordering of individuals within a group in which group members with lower status defer to those with greater status. For example, the strongest male athlete in high school was the leader of the crowd of jocks and made decisions about where they would eat lunch each day.
