Reference groups are those that individuals look up to or aspire to be like, which influences their attitudes and behaviors. In the context of students from conservative homes attending a liberal college and shifting toward more liberal attitudes, Bennington College would be considered their reference group because it is the institution influencing their change in attitudes. Their family and hometown friends, while still significant, would not be considered their primary reference group in this context of changing attitudes, as the students are moving away from those conservative views towards the liberal views more prevalent at Bennington College.
