Answer:

Referent power

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually when an individual admires the qualities of another person (or even a group of people), he/she will try to imitate the referent's actions and behavior.

That is why marketing uses prominent referents to affect consumer behavior (e.g. Aaron Rodgers endorses State Farm insurance, Michael Jordan's Air Jordan shoes, etc.).
