	The second approach to social groups emphasizes "psychological group membership” and stands in contrast to the functional approach. This more psychological view of social groups has been developed in the wake of social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979), and holds that simple awareness of a common category membership is a sufficient condition to elicit group behaviour. Psychological group membership entails a comparison from “outgroups” (groups an individual does not identify with) and thus puts greater emphasis on differentiation between groups than the functional approach.

A social group refers to a set of individuals who share, or perceive to share, some characteristic that leads to perceived unity and cohesion among those individuals and thus sets them collectively apart from other individuals.
