Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Referent power is the ability to influence others based on one's identification with or admiration of the person. When people are attracted to someone and identify with them, they often admire them and may seek to emulate them. This admiration and identification can lead to referent power, where the person has the ability to influence others based on their personal qualities and characteristics. The other types of power listed (positional, expert, and legitimate) are based more on formal positions, roles, or expertise, rather than personal characteristics or identification.
