Summary/Abstract: As socially active persons, we are inevitably part of various groups which facilitate the activities that we carry out daily. Our personal attitude within the group that we belong to can influence the group activities in a positive or in a negative way, or it is possible that our influence on the group be insignificant or negligible. Belonging to various groups and social categories gives the person a social identity, which is always built in terms of a comparison or an analogy with other persons or groups. Building an identity means determining similarities and differences in a conceptualised environment through the unconditional intervention of the categorization process. This research project aims at investigating the manner in which the individual characteristics of a person influence the characteristics of the group he/she belongs to, as well as the connections established among the group members, in terms of group activity.
