Abstract
What are the effects of peer pressure on conformity? Peers have a duty to be mostly distinct when understanding peer pressure. Peer pressure can be applied by TV that transfers to an individual the standard way to conduct one's self, by political figures who charm to patriotism, by families that appeal to family loyalty or traditions, and by any other crowd with which an individual classifies. There is a terrible social enthusiasm to be a member of a crowd, and group membership characteristically needs some amount of conformity. Not all conformity is harmful. A peer group that utilizes pressure on a participant to care for an ill parent is using constructive peer pressure. Peer pressure is most frequently linked with undesirable encouragements such as the pressure to use pills, smoke, disregard authority, and participate in loose sexual activities.
