Assertion: A group enhances the self esteem of its members and establish a positive social identity.
Reasoning: Groups satisfy social and psychological needs of its members like recognition.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct. Recognition is a Status need and not Psychological/Social Need.
- Status: Membership in a group that is esteemed or respected by others can lead to a sense of recognition and power.
- Self-esteem: Groups contribute to individuals' feelings of self-worth and establish a positive social identity. Belonging to prestigious or valued groups enhances one's self-concept.
- Satisfaction of psychological and social needs: Groups satisfy social and psychological needs, such as a sense of belonging, giving and receiving attention, love, and power within the group.
