Identify, which one of the following is NOT the characteristics of a group:

Mutual prejudice among members

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.
