Social Influences
• Reference groups
Groups whose value structures and standards
influence a person’s behaviour
• Social Power of Reference Groups:
“the capacity to alter the actions of others” (Solomon,
et. al, 2008, p. 315) is exemplified in the following 6
forms:
1. Referent Power – admired
2. Information Power – access to info.
3. Legitimate Power – social agreement (e.g. judge)
4. Expert Power – possess knowledge/skills
5. Reward Power – means to provide positive
reinforcement
6. Coercive Power – effective in short term
