Principles and Techniques of Veterinary and AH Extension

IN GROUP AND OUT GROUP

• In group is one to which the persons feel they belong and with which they identify themselves strongly. Not only they themselves, but others also feel them to be an integral part of the group. Matters of vital interest to the group are confined with the group.
• Out group is one with which other individuals can not identify themselves. The individuals feel themselves as outsiders to the group and the group also has a similar reciprocal feeling towards the individuals. Matters of vital interest are not shared with the out group members.
