Learning how groups evaluate us influences our ____________.

A) attitudes
B) values
C) prejudices
D) self image

The way groups evaluate us can significantly impact our self-image or self-esteem. This is because humans are social beings who value belongingness and social connectedness. Being accepted and validated by groups we identify with can enhance our self-worth, while being rejected or criticized can damage it. Attitudes, values, and prejudices can also be shaped by group evaluations, but these are more likely to be influenced by other factors as well.
