Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reference group is a group of people with whom an individual identifies or to whom an individual looks for guidance in behavior, attitude, and values. This group serves as a standard of comparison for an individual's beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Thus, an individual might use their reference group's presumed perspective or values as the basis for their judgments, opinions, and actions. Subcultures, social classes, and demographic groups can also influence an individual's behavior, but they are not necessarily used as a basis for judgments and opinions.
