For each microcase, identify the group doing the influence. Is the nature of the group positive (aspirational) or negative (disassociative)?

Bill, our patriot, found out about a peace rally on campus during the Iraq war. The protesters were demonstrating against any U. S. involvement in the Iraq.

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

For the first scenario, the group doing the influence is her sorority sister. The nature of the group is aspirational because she is helping her decide. The influence the group has is value expressive because even though Sue wanted an MP3 player, she ended up buying an iPod with video playing ability which was not what she wanted.

For the second scenario, the group doing the influence is the US army. The nature of the group is aspirational because he has a sticker on his car which means that he wants to be associated with the group and show his support. The influence the group has is utilitarian because it lines up with Bill's expectations.

For the third scenario, the group doing the influence is the brand because it affects Jane's behavior and choice of clothing. The nature of the group is aspirational because they want to interview her and offer her a job. The influence of the group is utilitarian because they are causing Jane to adjust herself to their expectations and values in order to get to job.

For the fourth scenario, the group doing the influence are the protesters on the campus. The nature of the group is dissociative because Bill clearly does not want to be associated with the group by wearing blue jeans. The influence of the group is informational because it challenges peoples beliefs and has the potential to change their minds.

I hope this answer helps.
