Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corbyn sees the NFL players as a reference group, meaning a group that he looks to for guidance on how to behave or what to buy. He is using them as a benchmark for his own behavior and decision-making. The other options, such as policy makers, advocacy groups, or ethicists, do not accurately describe the relationship that Corbyn has with the NFL players.
