Social Groups
Social groups form the building blocks for society and for most social interaction.
The sociologist Georg Simmel argued that the key element in determining the form of social relations in a group is the size the size of the groupof the group..

Social Groups Simmel emphasized, in particular, the
differences between social relations in a dyad dyad (group of two) and a triad triad (group of three or more).
DyadDyad is the most intimate form of social life because the two members are mutually dependent on each other – if one member leaves the group, the group ceases to exist.

Properties of Dyads• Most intimate• Continued existence depends of the willingness to
participate• Membership is voluntary• Doesn’t need to be concerned about a third party• Symmetry must be maintained
• Even if power is unequal• Servant master relationship is an example

Properties of triads
The group itself hold the power – it will go on even without you.
Secrets can exist
Politics exists – influencing people on a group level.

The Politics of Social Groups When a third person joins a dyad, that person
can fill the role of: mediatormediator – the conflict resolver. tertius gaudens tertius gaudens — “the third that rejoices” the
person who profits from disagreement from the others.
divide et impera divide et impera (“divide and conquer”) — the individual who purposefully breaks up the other two.

Social GroupsWhat problems might you
expect? As group size increases, the number of possible relationships increase — in a group of three, three possible relationships exist, but in a group of four, six possible relationships exist.

Groups
Small groups: Face-to-face interactions Unifocal – there is one center of attention at a time Lack of formal roles
Party Face to face but multifocal Potential for some formality
Large Group Formal structure and status differentiation Besides size, Physical space, pre-existing social
relationships, context

Group types
Primary Groups Primary Groups – socialization groups with limited member and face to face interactions.
Secondary Group Secondary Group – impersonal, affiliation is conditional and instrumental as often a means to an end.
In- group versus out-group In- group versus out-group – relative power helps define normal versus abnormal thoughts or behaviors
Reference groupsReference groups: relative concept for comparison e.g. sports facilities for athletic teams of neighboring universities.

Social Groups and Conformity
The Asch Test is an experiment developed in the 1940s that shows how much people are influenced by the actions or norms of a group.

From Groups to Networks A social network A social network is a set of relations — a set of
dyads — held together by ties between individuals.
A tie A tie is a set of stories that explains our relationship to the other members of our network, while a narrative is the sum of the stories contained in a series of ties.

What networks are you a part of on
campus?
Explain your ties?

From Groups to Networks
Embeddedness refers to the degree to which ties are reinforced through indirect paths within a social network.

![Page 15: Chapter 5 groups & networks r3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5478462cb4af9f9c308b467b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The more embedded a tie is, the stronger it is.
In other words, the more indirect paths you make to another person, the stronger the relationship will be.
![Page 16: Chapter 5 groups & networks r3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5478462cb4af9f9c308b467b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mark Granovetter developed the concept of the strength of weak tiesstrength of weak ties to explain that relatively weak ties can actually be quite valuable because they are more
likely to provide new opportunities than a strongly embedded tie.

Small World Exercise
Write down five friends or acquaintances who are also students at the college.
Share lists with two people sitting next to them. Are there any common names on the three lists?
Is it a “small world, after all”?
How technology has changed the size of your social networks?

A structural hole is a gap between network clusters (or even between two people) that would benefit from having the gap closed.

Facebook: The Entire Web Will Be Social
By Liz Gannes Apr. 21, 2010 Social plugins are little
widgets that bring Facebook to the rest of the web. They offer “instant personalization”
Creates a persistent relationship with you around that content. Sites give Facebook semantic information around the thing you liked — for instance, the title, type, genre and city for a band you like on Pandora.
