Types of Social Groups. Sociologists recognize several types of groups. These are:

1. Categorical group - Member of this group share particular characteristics and a common identity.

2. Aggregate group - An aggregate is any collection of people who are together in one place without interacting with one another.

3. Collectice groups - These are temporary groups which are not generally governed by established norms of the culture and are composed of people who share some kind of belief which motivates them to prepare for action.

4. Association group - This group is composed of people who join together in an organized manner to pursue a common interest.

From the groups that have been identified, these groups may be classified on the basis of social boundaries between members and non-members and adherence to a special set of norms.
