Scientists, educators, and parents of teens have long recognized
the potency of peer influences on children and youth, but until
recently, questions of how and why adolescents emulate their peers
were largely overlooked. This book presents a comprehensive
framework for understanding the processes by which peers shape each
other's attitudes and behavior, and explores implications for
intervention and prevention. Leading authorities share compelling
findings on such topics as how drug use, risky sexual behavior, and
other deviant behaviors "catch on" among certain peer groups or
cliques; the social, cognitive, developmental, and contextual
factors that strengthen or weaken the power of peer influence; and
the nature of positive peer influences and how to support them.
