Cooley referred to a group whose members share personal and enduring relationships as a primary group. This type of group is characterized by face-to-face interaction, close relationships, and a strong sense of belonging. It typically serves expressive functions (providing emotional support and fulfilling social needs) rather than instrumental functions (working toward a specific goal).
