Identify, which one of the following is NOT the characteristics of a group:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Mutual prejudice among members
This is not a characteristic of a group. A group is typically defined as:
-
A collection of individuals with common motives and goals
-
Members who interact with each other and are interdependent
-
Structured interactions based on shared norms and goals
Mutual prejudice would hinder cooperation, cohesion, and effective functioning — all of which are essential features of a group. Prejudice among members can lead to conflict or dysfunction, not group identity.
