This study examined whether conformity to high- but not low-status e-confederates was associated with increases in identification with popular peers and subsequent increases in self-esteem. A sample of 250 adolescents (55.1% male; M = 12.70 years; 40.3% White, 28.2% Black, 23.4% Hispanic/Latino, and 7.7% multiracial/other) participated in a well-established experimental chat room paradigm where they were exposed to norms communicated by high- and low-status e-confederates. Results revealed that for boys in the high-status condition only, but not girls, the positive relation between conformity and self-esteem was mediated by greater response alignment with popular peers. These findings bolster prior research by suggesting that conformity to popular peers may be partly motivated by drives for self-esteem and alignment with a valued reference group.
这项研究考察了与高地位而非低地位的电子同伙一致是否与对受欢迎同伴的认同增加以及随后自尊心的提高有关。本研究样本由 250 名青少年组成（55.1%为男性；平均年龄为 12.70 岁；40.3%为白人，28.2%为黑人，23.4%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔，7.7%为多种族/其他），他们参与了一个成熟的实验性聊天室范式，在该范式中，他们接触到由高地位和低地位电子同伙传达的规范。结果表明，只有在高地位条件下的男孩，而不是女孩，与高地位电子同伙一致与与受欢迎同伴的回应一致程度更高之间的正相关关系，通过这种关系来调节自尊。这些发现支持了先前的研究，表明与受欢迎同伴的一致可能部分是出于对自尊和与有价值的参照群体一致的驱动力。
