Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trent's change in behaviour suggests that he may have been influenced by the dress code and attire of his new coworkers or superiors at the bank. This aligns with the concept of a reference group, which refers to individuals or groups that a person looks to for guidance or inspiration in their own behaviour and decision-making. In this case, Trent may have observed how his colleagues dressed and adapted his own style to fit in with this group. The other answer choices are not as relevant or applicable to this scenario.
