Merton - Biographical Memoirs". Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 148 (4): 506-517. Retrieved on 2007-08-07. “He developed a theory of the reference group (i.e., the group to which individuals compare themselves, which is not necessarily a group to which those individuals belong), and elaborated on the concepts of in-group and out-group.” The term has passed into general use to mean any "person who serves as an example of a positive behavior".Role model.
