Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Doug's yoga group is a secondary group because it is a formal, large and impersonal group formed for a particular purpose or goal, which in this case is practicing yoga. Primary groups are smaller and more personal, and usually involve long-term relationships based on emotional ties. Social categories refer to groups of people who share a particular characteristic (e.g. gender, age) but do not necessarily interact with each other. Dominant groups refer to a group that holds more power and privilege in society than other groups, and Doug's yoga group does not seem to fit this category.
