There's ample evidence that peer approval and group acceptance play a role in many social phenomena. This influence can manifest itself through the bystander effect, peer pressure, social facilitation and in many other ways. However, dress as a means of social influence has been largely ignored. This study was designed to determine whether peer approval and group acceptance influence the sartorial purchases of college students and their participation in popular apparel trends on-campus. The hypothesis was that students' sartorial purchasing habits are considerably influenced by peers. In order to test this hypothesis, a survey was developed around 14 brand-name apparel items popular at UGA which solicited student response on the significance of peer approval in personal decision-making,...

In spite of the fact that it is an important component of the performance evaluation process, there has been scant theoretical attention directed at the individual processes underlying the development of the performance standards of individual managers. In this paper we suggest a framework to describe the development of internal performance standards that is theoretically grounded in the notions of pluralistic ignorance, social comparison, and cognitive dissonance. The framework posits that mangers compare their personal values and implicit performance theories to the standards of a misperceived performance standard norm, with discrepant social comparison (pluralistic ignorance) possibly leading to changes in performance standards in response to the norm. The result of this process is a...
