Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Students’ Work Ethic Affected by Peer Groups, Desire to Be Popular. "

The experiment was designed to understand how adolescents' academic performance is affected by the pressure they receive from their friends. In this case, they selected 11 students who were studying at different schools in Los Angeles and who were members of social classes. The students had access to the free Prep courses and it was through this access that the researchers were able to evaluate the objective of the research. By analyzing the survey data, it was possible to see that students were 11% less interested in courses that they believed to be "shameful" and that they were afraid that their friends would discover that they were taking this type of course. In this case, the researchers concluded that peer pressure has a strong impact not only on academic life, but also on students' ability to choose.
