✦ Synopsis

The concept of a social group is examined from a social interaction point of veiw. A definition of social group is proposed which can be operationalized. This definition is based on the idea that social groups are characterized by regions of dense interactional ties, and by internal structure of a hierarchical nature. This definition gives rise to an algorithm which is then tested on Sampson's monastery data. The results are compared with Sampson's ethnographic account.
