Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three major types of reference groups are aspirational (group that the individual wishes to belong to), disassociative (group that the individual wants to avoid), and membership (group that the individual currently belongs to or interacts with frequently). Option A is incorrect because advocacy is not a type of reference group. Option B is incorrect because avoidance and approach are not types of reference groups. Option D is incorrect because actual, implied, and desired are not types of reference groups. Option E is incorrect because family, peer group, and media are not types of reference groups, but rather types of social influences.
