E INDIVIDUAL AND THE GROUP 199 
‘erentiation on the one hand and to a greater 
ociological form to other groups on the other 
lantitative increase in the size of the group 
litative differentiation on the part of the in- 
e small existing differences in disposition and 
tween individuals become larger because in- 
stition necessitates individual specialization. 
1and, the new group as a whole will resemble 
)s more closely than the groups out of which 
There is only a relatively small number of 
rms available, and this number can be only 
ed. The greater the number of sociological 
a group, that is, the more complex its so- 
cture, the more will it therefore resemble 
sociological structures. In the amalgamated 
iological counterpart of the individual differ- 
create a set of sociological structures which 
ind in other groups. The more fully the proc- 
ual and social differentiation reshapes the 
e more fully will it therefore come to resem- 
oups. 
ly is an extension of the social circle followed 
ied individual specialization. An increased 
‘erentiation is also followed by the creation 
1 circles. The differentiation of the individ- 
fellow-group members seems accompanied 
to make social contacts with individuals in 
[t seems to create a need for transgressing 
onomie, political, or spiritual boundaries of 
up. In so far as this tendency leads to the 
uperordinated circles out of smaller groups, 
ited in the preceding chapter. Here the tend- 
est in the light of the full correlation between 
:rentiation and the extension of the group.
