SECONDARY GROUP

By N., Sam M.S.

Groups in which one exchanges explicit commodities, such as labor for wages, services for payments, and such. Tend to be bigger, less affectionate, and more goal-oriented, and provide direction for members' mindsets, behaviors, and creeds.

SECONDARY GROUP: "Secondary groups play a large role in socialization as a person matures."
