Although the term "group" is used commonly in everyday conversation, it has a very specific meaning in the context of social psychology
First, define "group," and be sure you include the two essential properties of groups in your definition. Second, identify a group in the real world. It can be one that you belong to, or just know of. Explain how the group you've identified exemplifies the two central properties of a group.
Answer: A group can be defined as three or more people who interact with each other and are interdependent. [Students then will select a group to discuss. In order to receive full credit, they should discuss how this group of people: 1) interact with each other, and 2) that they are interdependent.]
