So it's not worth thetime，” one of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, notwanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure(同伴压力), alsocalled peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to beaccepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effectof peer pressure in a number of different areas.We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities takeyou away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As youbecome more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in makingdecisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they makedecisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced byfactors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video game, either alone or withfriends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more thandoubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This showsthat teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or insituations where they are extremely angry.Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to makegood ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or getgood grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends oftenencourage each other to study, or try out for sports. 第 3 页
