Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An out-group is a group that is perceived as distinctive from one's own group. It is defined by the fact that one is not a member of the group. In-group refers to one's own group, so D is incorrect. Low-status group and minimal group refer to specific types of groups, but are not as general as out-group.
