Answer 1

An out-group is defined as **a group that we view as fundamentally different from us**. This concept is often used in social psychology to discuss how people categorize themselves and others, leading to in-group/out-group dynamics. In-group members are those we identify with, while out-group members are often perceived as outsiders or different from our own group.
