Answer:

The terms “in-group” and “out-group” are social science terms. In this context: An “in-group” is a group you are part of (genetically, culturally, or ideologically), while an “out-group” is a group you aren’t part of. More specifically, our in-group is a group we are a part of or identify with (genetically, culturally, or ideologically), and our out-group is the opposite, a group we don’t identify as being a part of or aren’t a part of (genetically, culturally, or ideologically).

(1) The groups with which individual identifies himself are his in group. one's family, one's college are example of his in group. But out groups refers to those groups with which individual do not identify himself. These are outside groups.
