Types of groups

Question

Identify and describe 4 types of groups; provide examples.

Answer 1

Four types of groups include transitory group, recurrent group, formal group and informal group. Transitory group is a group in which a group of people happen to be at a same place at a particular time but the interaction between them is minimal example: people getting onto the same escalator. Recurrent group is a group in which people meet regularly. Example: a hockey team. A formal group is a group that has set out some rules and regulations, they hold meetings and each member has a defined role. Example: Spanish Club. An informal group is a group that has no written rules and regulations. Example: a group of friends.
