    Groups within society can be categorized as primary or secondary. Primary groups, like family and close friends, involve intimate, long-term interactions. Secondary groups, like work colleagues, are larger and more impersonal, where members cooperate temporarily to achieve goals. Self-categorization theory proposes that people view those in their own groups more positively than outsiders. Social groups also include in-groups one belongs to, out-groups one does not belong to, reference groups for social comparison, and networks of interconnected relationships.
