Question

What are components of peer pressure​

Answer 1

1. Spoke Peer Pressure

Spoken peer pressure is when a teenager asks, suggests, persuades or otherwise directs another to engage in a specific behavior. If this is done in a one-on-one environment, the recipient of the influence has a stronger chance of adhering to his or her core values and beliefs.

2. Unspoken Peer Pressure

With unspoken peer pressure, a teenager is exposed to the actions of one or more peers and is left to choose whether they want to follow along. This could take the form of fashion choices, personal interactions or 'joining' types of behavior (clubs, cliques, teams, etc.).

3. Direct Peer Pressure

Direct peer pressure is clear express instruction from someone in the peer group to another telling him what to do. Indirect peer pressure is not so obvious. Implied pressure might be felt by the attitudes of a peer group concerning dress or actions, influencing others to conform to their beliefs.

4. Indirect Peer Pressure

Similar to unspoken peer pressure ,indirect peer pressure is subtle but can still exert a strong influence on an impressionable young person. When a teen overhears a friend gossiping about another person and then reacts to the gossip.
