Educational Psychology / Unit 3 EDP 0255 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Cliques and Crowds
Captions available
The idea
A clique is a small group of friends who interact regularly; a crowd is a reputation-based category whose members may not even know each other.
In practice
Five close friends are a clique; "the athletes" is a crowd.
Where people slip
Crowds emerge in middle school, peak in early adolescence, and fade by the end of high school, as same-sex groups give way to mixed-sex ones.
