Describe the characteristics of crowds.

What will be an ideal response?


Crowds are larger than cliques and less personal. Adolescents are usually members of a crowd based on reputation, and they may or may not spend much time together. Many crowds are defined by the activities adolescents engage in (such as "jocks" who are good at sports). Reputation-based crowds often appear for the first time in early adolescence and usually become less prominent in late adolescence. According to one study, crowd membership is associated with adolescent self-esteem.
