Question

which type of group includes organizations such as professional associations and neighborhood associations that involve relatively weak ties and less frequent interaction among its members? multiple choice primary group cohort group work group secondary group tertiary group

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Primary groups (e.g., family, close friends) have strong, intimate ties and frequent interaction, so this is incorrect.
• Cohort groups are defined by shared experiences (like age or time period) rather than weak ties and infrequent interaction, so this is incorrect.
• Work groups typically involve more regular and meaningful interaction for work - related goals, so this is incorrect.
• Secondary groups are formal or impersonal groups where members have weak ties and less frequent interaction. Professional associations and neighborhood associations (in a more formal or less intimate sense) fit this description.
• Tertiary groups are not a standard sociological category for this type of group classification, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

D. secondary group
