Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In-groups refer to durable groups in which people feel like they belong and share a sense of identity, while out-groups refer to groups of people who feel socially excluded or stigmatized. Heterosexuals in the United States are the majority group, which means they generally share a sense of identity and belonging and therefore they can be considered an in-group. Primary and secondary groups refer to the nature of the connections people made with others, and they are not necessarily related to the status of the group in society.
