A primary group is a small group of people who interact over a relatively long period of time on a direct and personal basis. This is opposed to a secondary group, where the members have an impersonal and indirect relationship.

A small group of people who interact over a relatively long period of time on a direct and personal basis is known as the primary group.

Further Explanation:

The primary group is a “small group” in which a less number of people come into “direct contact” with each other. It is defined as the center of all “social organizations”. The people of the primary group meet “face to face” for companionship; they also discuss common topics and take mutual help. The people in the primary group live in the “thought” and “presence” of one another.  

FEATURES OF PRIMARY GROUPS

  1. Small size: Relationships in the primary group can be “personal” and “intimate”.
  2. Physical Proximity: In the primary group, it is important that contact between individuals should be close.  
  3. Stability: These groups are relatively stable.
  4. Limited Self-interest: The people join the group to fulfill and satisfy their ‘own interests’.
  5. The intensity of shared interest: The members of the primary group share their interests intensely.
  6. The similarity of background: In the primary group, people shouldn’t only be “near” and “close” to each other but it is necessary for them to be “intelligent” and “experienced” too
