Answer to Question 1

All groups set boundaries by distinguishing between insiders who are members and

outsiders who are not. An ingroup is a group to which a person belongs and with which

the person feels a sense of identity. An outgroup is a group to which a person does not

belong and toward which the person may feel a sense of competitiveness or hostility.

Ingroups provide us not only with a source of identity but also with a point of

reference. A reference group is a group that strongly influences a person's behavior

and social attitudes, regardless of whether that individual is an actual member.
