Peer pressure is influential in swaying adolescents actions and decisions. To investigate the holistic influence of peer pressure on adolescence, this paper conducts literature reviews on peer pressures influence on adolescents regarding risky behavior, romantic relationships, and academic investment. The results show that peers are capable of bringing up and down adolescents rate of engaging in risky behavior depending on the quality of the friendship. Peers influence adolescent sexual behavior and partner selection, and they have a high level of intervention in their romantic relationships, presenting both positive and negative influences. Peers influence adolescents effort exerted on academic work depending on the type of image that adolescents are trying to maintain and the degree to which an adolescents school value hard work. The paper also traces the biological and sociocultural causes of peer pressures huge influence on adolescents and provides recommendations for alleviating negative peer pressure.

Adolescence is a time of transition from child to adult. At this point there are various biological and psychological changes that affect the nature of the individual in relationships. Peers are one of the most important factors and should not be underestimated in adolescence. Peer pressure can have a positive or negative impact. Peer pressure and popularity can influence individuals' behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the intensity of alcohol consumption in relation to peer pressure and popularity among adolescents in NTT. This type of research is quantitative correlation and is tested using Spearman's correlation hypothesis test. The sample in this study included 361 adolescents aged 15-20 years. The sampling technique was carried out according to the convenience sampling method. Collection of data using a questionnaire and analysis using the JASP program. The results of this study indicate that there is an association between peer pressure and the intensity of alcohol consumption (r = 0.165 p = 0.002) and an association between popularity and the intensity of alcohol consumption (r = 0.155 p = 0.155 p = 0.003), such that H0 discarded and H1 is received. The conclusion is that there is a correlation between peer pressure and popularity with the intensity of alcohol consumption.

Adolescence is a stage of development and multiple changes as well as personal and social changes are experienced in all aspects of individual’s life. The purpose of this research paper was to study the effect of peer pressure on stress of adolescents. For this purpose 120 subjects were selected from Meerut and Modinagar Distt (U.P). There were two groups according the level of peer pressure i.e. high peer pressure and low peer pressure. In each group there were 60 subjects, further each group was again consisted of two groups of gender there were 30 male and 30 female. Peer pressure was measured with the help of peer pressure scale constructed by Singh and Saini (2010) and stress was measured by student stress scale constructed by Akhtar (2011). A 2×2 factorial design was used in the study. On the basis of obtained results it was found that peer pressure have significant effect on stress of adolescents whereas gender has no significant effect on stress of adolescents. The interaction between peer pressure and gender was also found significant.

The purpose of the study is to identify the level of stress among adolescents regarding body image and the strategies that they use to cope with it. 282 adolescents in 10th and 11th grade answered three questionnaires: the Adolescent Stress Questionnaire, the Body Image Coping Strategies Inventory and the Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults. In the order of results, factors generating stress in adolescents are money pressure, uncertain future, school/leisure conflicts, school performance, assuming adult responsibilities, school attendance, romantic relationships, home life, interactions with teachers and peer pressure. Girls are more stressed by home life, peer pressure, an uncertain future, money pressure and adult responsibilities, while boys by school attendance. The most frequently used coping mechanism is positive rational acceptance. The level of stress among adolescents correlates with the level of satisfaction regarding the body image.

Objective: To explore the situation of poor eating behavior in adolescents in early adolescence, analyze its influencing factors, and provide a theoretical basis for adolescents to formulate effective dietary intervention methods and nutrition improvement strategies. Methods: In April~November 2019, 1200 students were randomly selected according to the principle of stratified cluster random sampling in a city in Guangxi, and 1089 valid questionnaires were collected. General data use descriptive statistics, univariate analysis uses tests and t/t' tests, and logistic multivariate regression analysis is used to determine relevant factors. Results: (1) 806 adolescents (74.01%) were detected with bad eating behavior in early adolescence in a city in Guangxi, and the adolescents with bad eating behavior were older (P<0.001). (2) Univariate analysis found that the effects of mental toughness, personal strength and support, peer pressure, and parent-child relationship on poor eating behavior were statistically significant (both P<0.001). (3) The results of logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that psychological toughness, strong personal strength and close parent-child relationship were the protective factors of adolescents' bad eating behavior (personal strength: OR=0.960; parent-child relationship: OR=0.949High age and increased peer pressure were risk factors for poor eating behaviors in adolescents (age: OR=25.439; peer pressure: OR=1.052). Conclusion: In a city in Guangxi, adolescents with strong psychological toughness, strong personal strength and close parent-child relationship reduce the risk of adolescents' bad eating behaviors, and high age and peer pressure increase the risk of adolescents' bad eating behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the issue of peer relations, which are an important developmental factor and affect the welfare of adolescent boys and girls. According to many authors, relationships with peers during adolescence carry not only risk as a consequence of peer pressure to undertake unfavourable behaviors, but may also potentially contribute to well-being and life success. The analysis of available research results helped to distinguish two main risk factors resulting from peer relations, which include: mutual influence and modelling of disadaptive behaviours and rejection by peers. The protective factors, in turn, included: mutual influence and modelling of adaptive behaviours, a sense of happiness resulting from peer relations and compensating for other difficulties through peer relations.

Adolescence is a period when numerous developmental changes as well as personal and social challenges are experienced. This generates the need to understand some of the crucial factors that may lead to inadequate development. The present study attempts to assess stress, self-esteem and peer pressure among Mizo adolescents. Seventy- eight (78) Mizo adolescents (39 males and 39 females) within the age range of 15-18years, belonging to Aizawl city, served as subjects for the study. A significant negative correlation (r = -0.40; p<0.01) was found between stress and self-esteem indicating high levels of stress that corresponds with low self-esteem. A negative correlation (r= -0.18; p>0.01) and a positive correlation (r=0.14, p> 0.01) is also found between peer pressure and self-esteem, peer pressure and stress respectively but is non-significant. Findings also indicated significant gender differences in stress (F=14.42; p <0.01) and self-esteem (F=33.96; p <0.01) with males (M= 77.46) having higher level of self-esteem than females (M= 64.84), and females (M= 24.67) having higher stress levels than males (M= 19.67).

Full textAbstract:
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mood disorder characterized by persistent depressive moods, irritability, and helplessness feelings, which could negatively influence one’s quality of life. Current research often concludes MDD in adolescents into MDD in general, whereas in reality, abundant differences exist between MDD in adolescents and MDD in adults. This article is an overview of major depressive disorder in adolescents incorporating its symptoms, future impacts, risk factors (academic pressure, attachment style, and peer relationships), and treatments. Although MDD in adolescents shares many similar symptoms as adults, it leads to long-lasting robust negative outcomes in adulthood, both physically and mentally. High academic pressure and insecure attachment style are both associated with the development of depressive symptoms. However, peer relationships have a much-complicated influence on depression. Positive interactions between peers and being regarded as belonging to a high-status group could prevent adolescents from developing depressive feelings. Surprisingly, close friendships could both bring positive and negative influences on depression, depending on the situation. This paper emphasizes the symptoms, importance, affecting factors, and current treatments of MDD in adolescence, which further reveals that treatments for MDD in adolescents still need more consideration and studies to improve effectiveness and avoid harm.

Full textAbstract:
Research on gender violence has identified as one main component leading to gender violence a dominant socialization process which associates attractiveness to men who show violent behaviors and attitudes, while egalitarian and non-violent men are emptied of attractiveness. This is known as coercive dominant discourse. Starting from the evidence that the peer group is a main context of socialization in adolescence, quantitative data were collected from six classes of secondary education (14–15-year-old adolescents) to explore whether the coercive dominant discourse is displayed in social interactions in the peer group and, if so, how it influences attractiveness patterns and sexual-affective behavior in adolescence. The analyses reveal that the coercive dominant discourse is often reproduced in the peer group interactions, creating group pressure, and pushing some girls to violent relationships. Alternative ways of interaction are also reported, which allow a socialization leading to more freedom, less coercion, and more healthy relationships.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the role of adolescent social relationships in fostering the occurrence and co-occurrence of depression and substance abuse, using two waves of data from a community sample of adolescents (N = 900). Multinomial logistic response models were estimated to identify the extent to which risk and protective features of youths' family and peer relations were differentially linked with depressive symptoms, substance abuse, and their co-occurrence. Taking a within-person, configurational approach to adolescent adaptation, contrasts involved four subgroups of adolescents: those high on both depressed mood and substance abuse, those who experience neither problem, those evidencing high levels of depressive symptoms only, and those high on substance abuse only. Risk for depressive symptoms was differentiated by its association with conflict and lack of support in the friendship domain. Substance abuse was associated with negative peer pressure, but these youth were otherwise little different from youths with no problems. Whereas co-occurrence of depression and substance use was associated with more difficulties in both the family and peer environments, the most distinctive risk was that of low family support. Discussion centers on the developmental antecedents of co-occurring problems and family relations during adolescence.

AbstractThe current study investigated the associations between the influence of parent and peer characteristics and adolescent involvement in different types of out-of-school leisure activities using a structured versus unstructured activity dichotomy. Questionnaires completed by 1280, 12- to 17-year-old, Western Australian metropolitan, high-school students were analysed. It was found that perceived parent strictness, connectedness to adolescents, and parenting style were positively associated with adolescent participation in structured leisure activities, but negatively associated with time spent in unstructured activities. Hours of involvement in structured and unstructured leisure activities were negatively associated with perceived susceptibility to peer pressure. Peer connectedness was positively associated with hours spent in unstructured activities, but there was no significant interaction with participation in structured leisure activities. These findings suggest that peer influence is not always a dominant force in all aspects of adolescents' lives and also endorse the continued influence of parents as per Individuation and Relatedness theory in which it is argued that individuals' transition through adolescence is optimised if they remain connected to parents while concurrently developing their autonomy.

Adolescence is a period when peer pressure can affect teenage eating behaviour and they may start skipping meals or possibly under eating or over eating. The present study was therefore conducted to assess the eating habits among the adolescents (13 years-19 years) in selected Schools and Junior Colleges of Pune City. With the help of data available it was possible to assess the risk of getting eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa among these adolescents. It was found that among study subjects, 81 percent students were practicing unhealthy or faulty eating behaviour, thus requiring serious attention.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a period characterized by increased sensitivity to social cues, as well as increased risk-taking in the presence of peers. For example, automobile crashes are the leading cause of death for adolescents, and driving with peers increases the risk of a fatal crash. Growing evidence points to an interaction between neural systems implicated in cognitive control and social and emotional context in predicting adolescent risk. We tested such a relationship in recently licensed teen drivers. Participants completed an fMRI session in which neural activity was measured during a response inhibition task, followed by a separate driving simulator session 1 week later. Participants drove alone and with a peer who was randomly assigned to express risk-promoting or risk-averse social norms. The experimentally manipulated social context during the simulated drive moderated the relationship between individual differences in neural activity in the hypothesized cognitive control network (right inferior frontal gyrus, BG) and risk-taking in the driving context a week later. Increased activity in the response inhibition network was not associated with risk-taking in the presence of a risky peer but was significantly predictive of safer driving in the presence of a cautious peer, above and beyond self-reported susceptibility to peer pressure. Individual differences in recruitment of the response inhibition network may allow those with stronger inhibitory control to override risky tendencies when in the presence of cautious peers. This relationship between social context and individual differences in brain function expands our understanding of neural systems involved in top–down cognitive control during adolescent development.

Adolescence is a stage when individuals are especially vulnerable to the influence of their peer group, which could lead to the development of problematic behavior, such as drinking alcohol, due to perceived pressure. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of self-esteem, impulsivity, anxiety sensitivity and expectations for use under perceived pressure to drink alcohol among young people. Methods: The sample was made up of 1287 high school students aged 14 to 18, with a mean age of 15.11. The Bayes factor and mediation models were estimated to evaluate the data. Results: The results showed the existence of a positive relationship of impulsivity, anxiety sensitivity and expectations for use with perceived pressure. However, this relationship was negative with self-esteem and perception of pressure to drink alcohol. Furthermore, the model results showed that self-esteem mediates the relationship between physical, cognitive and social anxiety sensitivity and positive expectations with perceived pressure to drink alcohol in adolescence. Conclusions: Given the strong need for affiliation during youth, it is hard to control grouping and peer influence on drinking behavior. However, knowledge of the role of individual variables, such as those described here, in perceived pressure could improve the prevention and intervention of such behaviors.

Abstract Introduction Insomnia is common in adolescence, particularly in older girls, with an overall prevalence comparable to major depression. Despite being associated with adverse outcomes such as an increased risk for substance dependence and suicidality, insomnia in adolescence is still under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and under-treated, and poorly described in the literature. This study aims to investigate the clinical features of insomnia in adolescence, in both boys and girls. Methods Eighty-five post-pubertal adolescents (16–18 years) with (N=39, 26 girls) and without (N=46, 28 girls) DSM-5 insomnia symptoms underwent a detailed clinical evaluation, including a clinical interview with a trained clinician and an extensive questionnaire battery investigating sleep behaviors, stress, coping skills, emotion regulation, mood, and personality traits. Results Adolescents with insomnia symptoms exhibit poorer sleep and sleep-related behaviors, such as higher insomnia severity scores, lower sleep hygiene, higher dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, and higher pre-sleep negative thought content compared with controls (p<0.05). They also indicated higher stress levels associated with school performance and peer pressure, higher susceptibility to work overload and greater depressive symptoms than controls (p<0.05). Insomnia girls reported a lower perceived sleep quality, higher perceived stress levels, and a higher sleep vulnerability to stress than insomnia boys (p<0.05). Exploratory network analyses unveiled profound group differences in the extent of multi-symptoms’ interconnection, with network complexity being lower in adolescents with insomnia symptoms and showing distinct symptoms’ centrality and clustering. Conclusion Insomnia in adolescence needs to be considered in the context of both classical insomnia-related features, as well as adolescence-specific factors, such as school and peer stress. Network analysis may be a promising approach to unveil hidden relationships and patterns among insomnia symptoms and behaviors, and to better characterize insomnia, possibly advancing early recognition and treatment of the disorder.

AbstractLittle is known about normative variation in stress response over the adolescent transition. This study examined neuroendocrine and cardiovascular responses to performance and peer rejection stressors over the adolescent transition in a normative sample. Participants were 82 healthy children (ages 7–12 years, n = 39, 22 females) and adolescents (ages 13–17, n = 43, 20 females) recruited through community postings. Following a habituation session, participants completed a performance (public speaking, mental arithmetic, mirror tracing) or peer rejection (exclusion challenges) stress session. Salivary cortisol, salivary alpha amylase (sAA), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), and heart rate were measured throughout. Adolescents showed significantly greater cortisol, sAA, SBP, and DBP stress response relative to children. Developmental differences were most pronounced in the performance stress session for cortisol and DBP and in the peer rejection session for sAA and SBP. Heightened physiological stress responses in typical adolescents may facilitate adaptation to new challenges of adolescence and adulthood. In high-risk adolescents, this normative shift may tip the balance toward stress response dysregulation associated with depression and other psychopathology. Specificity of physiological response by stressor type highlights the importance of a multisystem approach to the psychobiology of stress and may also have implications for understanding trajectories to psychopathology.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a complicated, full of challenges and explorations period in life on the way to adulthood. The behaviour of adolescents is considerably re-configuring under the pressure of biological, psychological, and social transformations, and the internalization of community rules and values, as well as the adoption of desirable behaviours, is not always easy or successful. During adolescence, anomie can easily become an attractive status quo, but it can also evolve, however, relatively easy, to delinquency. This exploratory study, part of the Planet Youth project, is based on an analysis of 17 items from a questionnaire applied to a sample of 2,694 young people in Bucharest, Romania, in 2018, high schoolers in grades 9–11. The main objective of this approach was to assess the impact of some socio-cultural factors regarding school, family, peer group, and neighbourhood on the adoption of deviant and delinquent behaviours among Bucharest teenagers. For data analysis, two dependent variables were built by aggregating items in the questionnaire: the level of anomie (composed of 8 items) and deviant behaviour (composed of 17 items). As independent variables, 17 predictors composed from 67 questions from the questionnaire were used. The main results reflect a high level of anomie among the adolescents of Bucharest and a low level of deviance, and a weak link between these two variables. On the other hand, adolescent anomie and deviance are favoured by anger management, perceived peer attitudes to substance use and digital leisure, together with low parental surveillance.

Full textAbstract:
The current study aims to explore the relevance of ‘time spent with parents’ for different risk behaviors (i.e., alcohol use, smoking, gambling and problematic social media use), peer factors (i.e., time spent with peers, peer pressure and peer support) and parenting behaviors (i.e., control, relatedness and family support). A cross-sectional design was employed, including 2165 adolescents aged from 12 to 18 years (Mage = 14.7, SD = 1.33; 52% girls; 30% in pre-vocational education). Independent sample t-tests were performed to compare different contrasting groups (≤1 h vs. >1 h; ≤2 h vs. >2 h; ≤3 h and >3 h) for relevant outcomes. Results. Adolescents spending on average >1 h per day with their parents in joint activities reported lower levels of risk behavior, less peer pressure, more peer support and more parental control, relatedness and family support. At the same time, this does not seem to come at the expense of spending time with peers, as adolescents spending 1 h or more with their parents did not spend less time with their peers. All the findings point at the relevance of parents spending time and undertaking joint activities with their adolescent children.

This study dealt with the influence of peer pressure on adolescents’ social behavior among Grade 11 students at Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The primary goal of the study was to determine the level of peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior in terms of their respective indicators, the significant relationship between peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior, and what domains of peer pressure substantially influence adolescents’ social behavior. Also, this study utilized a quantitative-correlational design with 202 respondents among Grade 11 students. The average weighted mean, Pearson R, and multiple regression analysis were the statistical tools used in this study. Along with this, the results showed a low level of peer pressure among Grade 11 students in terms of social belongingness, curiosity, cultural parenting orientation, and educational. Likewise, the results showed a high level of adolescent social behavior among Grade 11 students regarding affiliative social behavior, aggressive behavior, and anxious behavior. In addition, there is a negligible correlation and a significant relationship between peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior. Hence, this leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Also, all domains of peer pressure showed low ratings as perceived by students, and all domains of adolescent social behavior showed a high ratings as perceived by students. Additionally, multiple regression analysis showed the result that there was no significant relationship between peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior. Hence, this led to not rejecting the null hypotheses. Thus, to resist peer pressure, students may attend programs that focus on how to navigate and resist peer pressure. Programs that focus on equipping students with essential skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, communication, and problem-solving, which can help them navigate peer pressure more effectively.

Given that adolescents and young people spend most of their time in the educational system, advancements in neurodevelopmental research emphasize the important and complex role of peers’ influence on adolescents’ behaviour, suggesting that supportive programmes led by peers have a strong potential benefit (King, & Fazel, 2019). In many cases peers are the most important source of social support, and are therefore an important target group to investigate the factors of risk, signs of poor mental health and ways to assess their health behaviour and awareness of the care which should be taken regarding their mental health, as well as the resources and prevention models. The wish is to study whether there are differences regarding the mental behaviour in certain characteristics of susceptibility to peer pressure as a risk for the mental health of students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula and students of the Faculty of Teacher Education of the University of Zagreb, Division of Petrinja (N=440). The set hypothesis states that there is a statistically significant difference among students of the faculty in Pula and those in Petrinja in their assessment of certain features of peer pressure susceptibility as a possible risk for mental health. The results obtained at the x2-test showed a statistically significant difference between certain peer pressure features among students regarding their study environment linked to hanging out with peers who consume drugs and being tempted to try them, getting involved in risky behaviours if their peers ask them to, and betting or gambling because their friends also do that. The results indicate that in smaller communities social control and conformity in the students’ behaviour is more present due to their wish to fit in a peer group as well as possible, suggesting the need for strengthening the positive health behaviour of young people during their whole education in order to secure a healthy and productive adult population.

Background. The prevalence of disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) have increased worldwide. It is estimated that about 31.6% of Jordanian adolescents developed DEB. Engaging in peer groups is a prominent event in which adolescents try to belong to peers as part of exploring their social identity. Purpose. To assess the relationship between risk of eating disorders and peer pressure among adolescents. Methods. A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design utilized multistage cluster sampling technique was used to recruit students from 8th to 10th grades from both sexes from schools in northern Jordan. Data were collected from a self-administered, online questionnaire which was given to 738 participants. Results. The difference in overall mean of the Inventory of Peer Influence on Eating Concerns (I-PIEC) between adolescents with disordered eating behaviors and normal eating behaviors states was statistically significant. Scores for interaction peer pressure means were statistically higher for girls than for boys; conversely, likeability mean scores were statistically higher for boys than girls. Conclusions. The current findings suggest that healthcare professionals are encouraged to conduct appropriate school-based primary prevention for disordered eating behaviors.

The continuous students’ misbehavior necessitates careful consideration because there are several different pressures leading to adolescent misbehavior at school. One of the contributing factors is peer pressure among students. This study therefore, identifies that there is need to investigate the influence of peer pressure on adolescents’ misbehavior among secondary school students. A sample of two hundred (200) students from ten (10) secondary schools (5 public and 5 private) were randomly selected from Oshogbo Local Government Area of Osun State in Nigeria. An instrument titled Peer Pressure and Adolescent Misbehavior Questionnaire (PPAMQ) was used for data collection. The results showed that adolescent misbehavior is prevalent among secondary school students and peer group negatively influence adolescent misbehavior. Statistically there was no significant difference on the influence of peer pressure on adolescents’ misbehavior based on school type and gender. (t = 2.06, df = 198, p < 0.05) and (t = 2.06, df = 198, p < 0.05). Within the limitations of the findings of this study, it is hereby recommended that school counsellors need to understand: adolescents’ misbehavior in the context of school type, in order to reduce the rate of adolescents’ misbehavior in school. Students should also be educated on the negative implications of adolescent misbehavior and strict disciplinary measures should be meted out to students identified with adolescent misbehavior

Although the findings showed significantly negative relationships between peer pressure and general and academic self-efficacy expectations in these adolescents, no relationships were found between peer pressure and social and emotional self-efficacy expectations. Moreover, general and academic self-efficacy expectations were higher in adolescents who were experiencing low levels of peer pressure than in adolescents with moderate and high levels of general and academic self-efficacy. However, no significant differences were observed in terms of social and emotional self-efficacy expectations.

Young female students are often torn between family supervision, which can be positive or negative, and peer pressure to conform to the pressures on life decisions and behavior orientation as they grow up and learn. Little is known as to how they cope especially in a large city and with the media influence they face. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences on female students’ behaviour (focusing on family supervision and peer pressure) in public secondary schools. Specifically, the study intended to determine the nature of family supervision and peer pressure among female students; to identify the main forms of behavioural issues that affect female students’ learning; and to find out in what ways family and peer pressure influences female students’ behaviour focusing on time management, work habits and truancy. The study has used a descriptive research design employing questionnaires and interview guides to collect data from a sample of 133 students, 50 teachers, 10 parents and 4 school heads. Qualitative data [mainly interviews with students, parents and teachers] collected were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques while quantitative data from a questionnaire used descriptive statistics approach. The study found that parents, school environment, peers and school management have both negative and positive effects on female students’ behaviour inside and outside school. It has also revealed that some students learn bad behaviour from their homes and community with some of the friends influencing to affect their academic performance. The most predominant disciplinary cases among female students were involvement in sexual relationships while schooling. The study concluded that parental supervision and teacher-parents coordination is essential in providing learning support to female students. The study recommends that administering corporal punishment in school should focus on shaping childrens’ behaviour rather than cause psychological torture. Frequent seminars and meetings between students and teachers on the importance of schooling are essential in raising awareness. Additionally, schools may invite experts from a government institution or private organization responsible for transforming students’ behaviour who will talk to students about adolescence and its social impact. Owners and managers of schools should establish a friendly schooling environment that promotes and enhance the teaching and learning process. Schools should be fenced to avoid external interactions and prevent truancy.

Social media is a powerful tool and platform for the public to interact and exchange ideas and information. Its impact on adolescents is evident everywhere, and many researchers have made social media and adolescents a research topic. However, the relationship between teens using social media and peer pressure remains unclear. This review examined the specific relationships between the use of social media and peer pressure received by adolescents, including whether there is a gender-specific relationship. After organizing and summarizing previous studies, the results showed that social media use and peer pressure are positively correlated among adolescents and no gender-specific was found. This finding can be used to predict the social media usage of adolescents under high peer pressure and the level of peer pressure experienced by adolescents who frequently use social media. Since this study only is a review, the study's conclusions still need more quantitative research methods like experiments to prove.

Abstract Objective The objective of the study was to explore the connection between peer pressure and academic stress among junior high school students. Methods This descriptive correlational study was conducted to investigate the link between perceived peer pressure and academic stress. The study involved a total of 525 adolescents, aged 14–19 years, drawn from 6 public junior high schools (PJHS) in Padang, Indonesia, using purposive sampling. Academic stress and perceived peer pressure were assessed using the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA) and the Perceived Peer Pressure Scale (PPPS). Results The findings indicated significant variations in stress levels among students in different grade levels (7th, 8th, and 9th grades) (P < 0.05), while there were no noteworthy differences in peer pressure across these grade levels (P > 0.05). Additionally, there was a positive correlation observed between perceived peer pressure and academic stress (r = 0.14, P < 0.05). Furthermore, multiple regression analyses, incorporating demographic variables and perceived peer pressure as independent factors, yielded statistically significant results (adjusted R 2 = 0.082, F = 4.33, P < 0.001). Notably, peer pressure had a direct impact on academic stress among adolescents, with class level and parents’ educational background mediating the relationship between academic stress and adolescent behavioral problems. Conclusions These findings underscore the importance of addressing both external and internal factors at the individual, family, school, and societal levels to enhance adolescents’ psychological resilience and mitigate problem behaviors.

The aim of this study was to further our understanding of the link between social anxiety and substance use in adolescents, in particular the role susceptibility to peer pressure plays in this link. The relation between social anxiety and susceptibility to peer pressure was studied in two community samples (n=534 and n=117) each consisting of two age groups (12-13 and 15–17 years). The relation of these two variables with substance use was evaluated in the second sample using regression analysis. Social anxiety was related to susceptibility to peer pressure in both groups and not related to substance use in the younger group and negatively related to substance use in the older group. Susceptibility to peer pressure acted as a suppressor in the relation between social anxiety and substance use. Results suggest that socially anxious adolescents basically avoid substance use but, if susceptible, may yield to peer pressure and start using substances. Parents, teachers, and therapists should be aware of this susceptibility to possibly negative peer pressure of socially anxious adolescents.

In adults, greater social integration is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension. Social integration earlier in life may be similarly associated with cardiovascular risk. Using a longitudinal sample of 267 Black and White men, we examined whether greater social integration with peers during childhood and adolescence, assessed by parent report, prospectively predicts lower blood pressure and body mass index two decades later in adulthood and whether these effects differ by race, given well-documented racial disparities in hypertension. Boys who were reported by their parents to be more socially integrated with peers evidenced lower blood pressure and body mass index in adulthood, and this effect was not accounted for by body mass index in childhood, childhood socioeconomic status, childhood hostility, childhood physical health, extraversion measured in adolescence, or concurrent adult self-reports of social integration. Results did not differ by race, but analyses were not powered to detect interactions of small effect size.

The rationale of this study was to examine the influence of peer pressure on sexual adventurism among adolescents in Ghana, and as well to explore the role of child-rearing practices in this relationship. The study covered adolescents in junior high schools in Ghana within the age range of 12 to 19 years. A sample of 525 adolescents was surveyed to participate in the research using the multistage sampling approach. The main instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Data gathered were analysed using means and standard deviation, multivariate linear regression, and three-way interaction-moderation analysis. Child-rearing practices and peer pressure significantly and independently predicted sexual adventurism. Parental discipline acted as a significant moderator in the relationship between peer pressure and sexual adventurism. Again, only in the presence of discipline could monitoring and warmth moderate the relationship between peer pressure and sexual adventurism. Based on the findings, parents are encouraged to incorporate reasonable disciplinary measures in shaping their children’s behaviours against sexually deviant activities. Besides, guidance and counselling coordinators should plan and organize programs that centre on reducing the prevalence of peer pressure and sexual adventurism. Conclusions drawn from the study include bringing out a better understanding of the role that discipline and peer pressure play in influencing adolescents’ sexual adventurism.

The aim in this study was to determine whether or not peer pressure and leisure boredom influenced substance use among adolescents in low-income communities in Cape Town, South Africa. Nonprobability sampling was used to select 291 adolescents aged between 16 and 18 years who were attending schools in 2 low-income communities in Cape Town. The research instruments were the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test, the Resistance to Peer Influence measure, and the Leisure Boredom Scale. Multiple regression analysis showed that the combined influence of peer pressure and leisure boredom predicted substance use among the adolescents. Of the two factors, peer pressure was the stronger predictor of substance use.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Health-risk behaviours are those activities that contribute to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, disability, and social problems among youth and adults, often are established during childhood and adolescence, extend into adulthood, and are interrelated. The objective of the study was to assess health risk behaviours and their influencing factors among adolescent students in higher secondary school of Kathmandu metropolitan city.Methods: The study was a school based cross-sectional quantitative type. The study was conducted in three government schools of Kathmandu metropolitan city, Nepal. The purposive sampling technique was applied to select total 250 respondents from grade 11 and 12. The self-administered questionnaire was used for the data collection.Results: Study shows that majority of respondents were between aged 17-20 years, 62.4% were female and 76.8% from Hindu religion. Out of the total respondents, 6.4% smoked cigarettes, 18.4% drank alcohol and 6.8% used drugs. Regarding Initiation risk behaviour, 25% first smoked, 32.6% first drank alcohol and 11.76% first used drug at age <14 years (pre-adolescence). The major influencing factor for involving health risk behaviours are peer pressure (70.58%) followed by their curiosity (29.42). Likewise, this study revealed highly association between risk behaviours of respondents and peer pressure.Conclusions: Despite the widespread of knowledge about negative effect of health risk behaviours, the prevalence is of smoking, drinking alcohol and drug use is higher. There is urge need of initiation and activities regarding health risk behaviour targeting to preadolescents and adolescents’ students.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the influence of peers on the consumption patterns of Chinese adolescents, synthesizes the existing research, and suggests coping strategies that may assist adolescents in achieving consumption patterns that are healthier and more sustainable in the face of peer pressure. According to the results, the guidance and influence of peers play a significant role in the purchasing decisions of Chinese adolescents. Peer influence has both positive and negative effects on individuals' consuming behaviors, including value perception, affective experience, and the desire to repurchase; the effect of perceived peer trust, control, and allure on inconsistent judgments. Peer influence has a negative impact on the consuming activities of individuals, including their value perception, affective experience, and desire to repurchase. The most apparent manifestation of peer influence is an increase in consumption knowledge and assistance in the process of developing one's own unique consumption patterns. Students struggling with consumer psychology and motivation in higher education should be referred to school-based psychological counseling services in order to receive the necessary psychological intervention and assistance.

Background: Girls experience increases in body fat and weight from puberty through late adolescence. In order to achieve their ideal body weight, young women as a consequence changed their eating habits, exercised, took care of their bodies, and used diet pills among other things. Eating disorders are caused by this practice. Persistent eating disorders can result in illness among those affected. Objectives: The aim of this research was to examine how eating disorders in female teenagers are related to fad diets, body image, stress, and peer pressure. Methods: An observational research methodology employing a cross-sectional analytic polling design was utilized. Purposive sampling Simple random sampling was used to collect data from a total of 111 individuals. From July to August 2022, the study was carried out in several secondary schools in Malang City. Results: Research results revealed a significant connection between binge eating disorder and body image (p=0.002), stress (p=0.001), and social pressure (p=0.000). However, there was no observed association between fad diets and binge eating disorder. Eating disorders exhibited a multivariate relationship with fad dieting, body image, stress, and peer pressure, as evidenced by a Nagelkerke R square value of 0.595. Conclusions: There is a correlation between eating disorders and fad diets, as well as stress, peer pressure, and body image.

Full textAbstract:
As adolescence is a stage in which human beings face once throughout a lifetime and it is the experimental period for this reason risky sexual behavior is common among young people, and it has several sexual and reproductive health consequences. In Ethiopia, mostly as in many other settings, the behaviors of adolescents strongly influence the course of STDs including HIV/AIDS due to their risky sexual practices. This study is a descriptive cross sectional survey research design. The finding showed that, Pocket money, peer pressure, substances use and self-efficacy to resist sexual advances are associated with risky sexual behaviors. The findings regarding gender difference showed that there was no statistically significant difference between male and female students with regard to age of first sexual intercourse. Concerned with risk factor for unsafe sexual behavior of adolescents was observed with abuse of alcohol, Khat, Shisha, Tela and cigarette. Providing the necessary knowledge and skills for adolescents, parents and different stakeholders are the suggested recommendation.

Full textAbstract:
After the 1994 Gun-Free School Act, schools expanded the use of zero-tolerance policies with all Connecticut private high schools implementing punitive drug and alcohol policies. Based on the criminological theory of deterrence, zero-tolerance policies deliver severe and certain punishments designed to deter rational actors from engaging in problem behaviors. Existing research suggests that adolescents perceive rewards more strongly around peers and lack impulse control, raising the possibility that peer pressure may override rational deterrence in an adolescents’ decision-making process. An “immune group” of adolescents predisposed to ignore punitive deterrents may play a sizable role in inducing peer drug use. If peer influence supersedes deterrence in a significant number of cases, adolescents who are affected both by deterrents and peer pressure may be at a higher risk of following the example of the “immune group.” This study raises the question of whether Connecticut private high school students’ drug use is correlated with perceptions of punishment mandated by school policy and contextual peer influences. A questionnaire that measured students’ drug use on a scale of 1 to 4, perceived severity and likelihood of punishment from 0 to 10, and interaction with drug using peers from 0 to 10, was completed by 50 respondents. The study found no correlations between student drug use and perception of punishment likelihood and severity but found contextual peer influences to be positively associated with expected student drug use in the future. While the results of this study are limited to Connecticut private high school students, the observed tendency in students to disregard risks and pursue peer-involved drug use may be generalized in adolescents. Even in places where school discipline is not a wide issue, the impact of contextual factors like peer influence must be reconceptualized in thinking about school drug policies.

Full textAbstract:
The study examined and contrasted the extent that peer influence and self-selection for smoking peers may affect acquisition of smoking by adolescents. Data for a U.S. national cohort sample of adolescents ( N = 4,444) who were nonsmokers in the 1989 Teenage Attitudes and Practices Surveys and were re-interviewed in 1993 were included. The information included measures of smoking behavior and smoking status of both boys' and girls' best friends. Analysis demonstrated that, although the effects of both peer influence and self-selection of smoking friends occurred, self-selection may play a greater role in adolescents' beginning to smoke. This implies that, while teaching adolescents to resist peer pressure may be necessary, it is perhaps more important to identify factors that influence adolescents' decisions in choosing friends who smoke. This could lead to more effective preventive strategies.
