Preferred term

sports teams  

Definition

  • Sports teams share the properties of many other groups, in that they are composed of two or more individuals who possess a common identity, have common goals and objectives, share a common fate, exhibit structured patterns of interaction and modes of communication, hold common perceptions about group structural elements such as norms and roles, are personally and instrumentally interdependent, reciprocate interpersonal attraction, and consider themselves to be a group. An intercollegiate tennis doubles team provides a useful example of this definition. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Sports Teams]
