AN EXAMINATION OF THE IMPACT PEER PRESSURE HAS ON
YOUNG ADULTS. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 104
The current study seeks to bridge the gap between
adolescence and young adulthood and provide a more
in-depth account of the role peer pressure plays in
development and decision making. By looking at a
sample of undergraduate college students I have
emphasized the social aspect of young adulthood
through college attendance which is experienced by
many in this age group while at the same time
extending the scope of peer pressure strength. The
average college student, often referred to as
a “traditional student”, is entering into young
adulthood and experiencing many shifts in routine
and expectations. I argue in this study that peer
pressure does not cease to exist after adolescence
but rather remains strong and provides a conduit
sometimes leading to and/or reinforcing negative
behaviors, specifically marijuana use.
