[Groups] - Hogg and Vaughan (2017): Two or more people sharing a common definition and evaluation of themselves, behaving in accordance with such a definition - Johnson and Johnson (1987): collection of interacting individuals - Smaller groups nest within larger - Roles: length of time, level of commitment (peripheral- on the edge/prototype-archetypal) - Level of commitment/ time influences level of control over the group Group effects - Norman Triplett: compared accompanied/unaccompanied cycle races; accompanied were generally faster - Triplett (1898): compared 40 kids 8-12 winding of fishing reels alone/accompanied; 20 performed better, 10 worse (overstimulated?)
