Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stouffer's study found that soldiers' morale was not solely determined by objective factors such as living conditions or combat experiences, but also influenced by their comparisons to others in specific reference groups. This led to the idea of social comparison theory, which suggests that people evaluate themselves based on social context rather than absolute standards. Option A and D are opposite to the conclusion of the study, and option B is too general and not directly related to the findings.
