The prestige bias suggests that individuals are likely to imitate those they perceive as prestigious or successful in a broad sense, not just in specific behaviors. Therefore, a child looking up to LeBron James might try to emulate everything about him, including both basketball-related and unrelated behaviors, because of his overall status and success.
