1. An in-group can be defined as any group or category to which people feel they belong. 

2. It compresses of everyone who is regarded as “we” or “us”. 

3. An out-group is a group or category to which people feel they do not belong. 

4. Out-group means “They group”. The very existence of an In-Group implies that there is an ‘Out-group’. 

5. Members of an in-group sometimes are threatened by another group, known as out group. 

Example : In-group – Family, religion, race, gender we belong to. Out-group – Race, culture, gender, age, religion, which we do not belong to.
