Secondary Groups

Secondary groups are larger, more impersonal groups formed around a specific goal or activity, such as coworkers, classmates, or club members. Unlike primary groups (like family or close friends), interactions in secondary groups are typically task-oriented and temporary. Relationships tend to be more formal and goal-driven, focusing on accomplishing particular objectives rather than emotional connection. These groups play a role in social organization, offering structured environments where individuals collaborate or engage around shared interests or purposes.
