What are reference groups and how can they influence attitude formation?
What will be an ideal response?
Reference groups are other entities—individual people, communities, organizations, and so forth—that a person identifies with. People often adjust their attitudes so as to hold views closer to the reference groups they value and identify with. As a result of observing the attitudes held by others who we identify with, new attitudes can be formed.
