“…Second, in a study of adolescents aged 12–17, an increase in negative self‐evaluation was uniquely associated with pubertal maturation and not age (Ke, Wu, Willner, Brown, & Crowley, 2018). Since low self‐esteem and fear of ostracism play a role in social influence (Carter‐Sowell, Chen & Williams, 2008; Uslu, 2013), these findings suggest that puberty may also therefore independently affect susceptibility to social influence.…”

Introduction Adolescents are particularly susceptible to social influence and previous studies have shown that this susceptibility decreases with age. The current study used a cross-sectional experimental paradigm to investigate the effect of age and puberty on susceptibility to both prosocial and antisocial influence. Methods Participants (N = 520) aged 11–18 from London and Cambridge (United Kingdom) rated how likely they would be to engage in a prosocial (e.g. “help a classmate with their work”) or antisocial (e.g. “make fun of a classmate”) act. They were then shown the average rating (in fact fictitious) that other adolescents had given to the same question, and were then asked to rate the same behaviour again. Results Both prosocial and antisocial influence decreased linearly with age, with younger adolescents being more socially influenced when other adolescents’ ratings were more prosocial and less antisocial than their own initial rating. Both antisocial and prosocial influence significantly decreased across puberty for boys but not girls (independent of age). Conclusions These findings suggest that social influence declines with increasing maturity across adolescence. However, the exact relationship between social influence and maturity is dependent on the nature of the social influence and gender. Understanding when adolescents are most susceptible to different types of social influence, and how this might influence their social behaviour, has important implications for understanding adolescent social development.

“…Adolescence social environment could affect teenagers in their adolescence, because mostly in this period teenagers tend to communicate more by their peers. As children grow and reach adolescence, teenagers become more dependent on their peers than their family especially in making choices and enhancing their moral values in life (Uslu, 2013). Human development is affected by its socialization with other people in the environment.…”

The motivation for the study was to examine the effects of peer pressure on studentteachers of S.D.A. College of Education and it repel effects on academic performance. The study used the mixed methodological approach. Purposive sample was employed to select the level 200 students of the S.D.A. College of Education for the study because they were the only students on campus at the time of the survey. The study concluded that self-doubt and emotional development were effects of peer pressure, the fear of uncertainty in some of the student-teachers compel them to join friends who they perceive might be academically better than them. The study therefore recommended that group works should be more frequent to motivate the average students to boost their confidence. Guidance sessions should be mandatorily organized at least once in every month to work on students' emotional control and self-esteem to improve academic performance.
