Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weber's concept of status groups refers to groups of people who share a similar prestige or social status based on certain characteristics such as education, occupation, or lifestyle. These characteristics create a shared identity and sense of belonging among members of the group. This is different from social groups, which may share common interests or activities, and economic groups, which are based on shared economic interests. Reference groups, on the other hand, are groups that individuals use as a basis for comparison in making decisions or evaluating themselves.
