Preferred term

cliques  

Definition

  • Relationships outside the household become increasingly important as a child moves through adolescence. One way to view these relationships is through cliques, which can be defined in two ways: (1) Researchers define a clique as a grouping of persons who interact with each other more regularly and intensely than others in the same setting (a more neutral definition), and (2) the more popular definition by layper-sons is a social grouping of persons that exhibits a great deal of peer pressure on its members and is exclusive, based on superficial differences (a more negative definition).
