Question

Compare and contrast the differences between active peer pressure and passive peer pressure.

Answer 1

Active peer pressure is when someone is actively pressuring you do do something

Example: Someone is urging you to drink alcohol at a party

Passive peer pressur is more when you feel you want to 'jump on the bandwagon' 

Example: Everyone at the party (underage) is drinking alcohol; and you say 'well, everyone is doing it'....that is passive peer pressure
