Because of social and cultural factors, the interpersonal communication of Chinese has the notable characteristics of unofficial organization groups. There are differences between the eastern and the western countries in the balance of social relation. In western countries, the equal relation between people is emphasized, while in China, the relationship between people has clearly social classification. Chinese like keeping their own cycles for self-protection, social association, or for their own development. They obey the common behavior standards in the group and protect the benefit of the group, but exclude the things and people out groups. Various groups make up of the interpersonal relation as the unofficial organization in modern society. Groups are put into the social background, which exert a positive or negative effect on the social development. Through groups, we can survey the base and the structure of interpersonal unofficial organization clearly and know how the organization runs and changes and even the relationship between different organizations. Better understanding of groups can help people take advantage of self power and outside power to influence groups, decreasing the negative effect and increasing the positive effect of groups. On the contrary, if people are confused by groups, they will have some trouble. Therefore, the research of groups aims at probing into the social sources of groups, exploring the essence of groups and explaining the nature of interpersonal unofficial organization.The materials cited in the thesis are mainly from literature and are compared and contrasted comprehensively.
