Question

Amanda is in junior high and begged her mother to buy her a certain brand of athletic shoe that all the "cool" kids in school were wearing. She thought that if she had those shoes, she would be accepted as one of them. To Amanda, these other students in school that she wants to be associated with represent a(n) _____.

A) Primary reference group
B) Secondary reference group
C) Dissociative reference group
D) Aspiration reference group
E) Attractive reference group

Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option D (Aspiration reference group).

Step-by-step explanation:

• Aspirational group seems to be a comment thread-category of something like a reference or comparison group which consists of organizations with those whom a person wishes to be identified but which one he sometimes doesn't relate to.
• As well as the individual intends to mimic the committee member's attitudes and behaviors. For Amanda, all those other schoolers she wishes to have been affiliated with constitute an Aspiration party or group.

The other three options are not related to the given scenario. So, Option D is the right answer.
