Abstract:

Purpose Peer pressure and popularity are important issues for teenagers, potentially affecting teenagers’ attitudes toward luxury products. In turn, peer pressure and popularity can potentially be affected by self-concept clarity (how clearly teens view themselves). The authors empirically aim to investigate these relationships using data from a sample of Brazilian teens and find that self-concept clarity has a significant effect on peer pressure, popularity and social consumption motivation, which, by itself, directly affects attitudes toward luxury items.

Workplace culture is a synthesis of the social order in which we live or work, as well as the rules that govern that environment. It is critical for ensuring a safe, supportive, and productive working environment. Leaders bear the responsibility for creating, embedding, evolving, and ultimately manipulating a positive workplace culture. Senior executives, local managers, and supervisors all contribute to the culture of any organization by how they interact with one another, with their employees, and by how they communicate their expectations on work priorities.

The present study assessed the influence of punishment, social norms, and age on delinquency while examining peer pressure as a mediator. Further, gender and ethnicity were controlled.

Violence is ubiquitous; it is inflicted by peer groups, social classes, organisations, and by the state.

Abstract:

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) develop when unborn children are exposed to alcohol prenatally. As a result of this exposure, children with FASD exhibit a range of social, behavioural, cognitive and even physical deficits that can impede their life-long development. These deficits can be influenced by maltreatment and the instability resulting from being placed into out-of-home care, and/or multiple foster-care placement breakdowns. The aim of this article is to increase awareness amongst child welfare professionals of how prenatal alcohol exposure impacts on children's social develop
