Answer:
The influence of modeling is weaker when the model is similar to the learner.
Explanation:
in Social Studies, modeling refers to the acquisition of a certain attributes from another people that we consider as a 'role model' . During this process, an individual will observe the actions, behaviors, and the advice given by the role model and try to adopt it into their life.
The influence of modeling is actually stronger if the role model is similar to the learner.
(Example: A child born in poverty watched a documentary about his favorite athlete. Then he found out that the athlete also born in poverty and made his way up to the top. That child understand that the athlete faced similar situation as him. This motivated the child to follow the advice and training regimens that the athlete gave in order to be successful like him,.)
