A Primary Group refers to the people who are close to us and whom we tend to meet on a regular basis. These people are intimate to us and can be our family members or close friends. A Secondary Group is touted as a rather large group, with whom our relationships are impersonal and goal-oriented, and with these people, we share a temporary relationship. Aggregate refers to a collection or group of people who are unknown to each other but happen to be present at the same location at the same time. For instance in the case of restaurants or movie halls.
