Differentiate between adolescent cliques and crowds. Include positive and negative aspects of each group in your response
What will be an ideal response?
Cliques are groups of close friends who are loyal to each other and exclude
adolescents outside of the group, while crowds are larger groups who have
something in common but may not be friends. Crowds are often based on race,
ethnicity, common interests, or personal characteristics. Positive aspects of cliques
are loyalty to each other and social support. Negative aspects of cliques include
exclusion of others and social control. Positive aspects of crowds include social
support of individuals with whom adolescents have something in common and with
whom they can identify. Negative aspects of crowds include social control through
criticism of those who fail to conform.
