Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reference group is a group of people that an individual looks to for guidance in forming their own opinions, values, and behaviors. This reference group may have a significant impact on the individual's decision-making process, even if they are not a part of it. Example of reference groups include family, friends, co-workers, celebrities, and social media influencers. The other choices (subculture, social class, demographic group, and cultural mix) may also influence an individual's perspective and behavior, but not necessarily to the same extent as a reference group.
