This study examined the predictors and sequelae of exposure to peer pressure from close friends in adolescence. Adolescents (99 female; 85 male) were followed from age 13 to 24 utilizing peer, parent, and romantic partner reports and observational data. Participants who were exposed to high levels of peer pressure as teens were more likely to experience higher levels of coercive behavior from romantic partners (as reported by those partners), as well as lower levels of parent-reported functional independence. All findings held even after accounting for baseline levels of teen assertiveness. Adolescents at risk for increasing exposure to peer pressure were characterized by poor-quality parent and peer relationships, as well as baseline deficits in ability to assert autonomy. Results suggest that exposure to peer pressure, aside from its potential effects on deviant or risky behavior, may reflect a powerful threat to the autonomy development process as adolescents transition from parents to peers as primary sources of support and interaction.
本研究调查了青少年时期来自亲密朋友的同伴压力的预测因素及后果。研究对13至24岁的青少年（99名女性；85名男性）进行了跟踪，采用了同伴、父母和恋爱伴侣的报告以及观察数据。青少年时期受到高水平同伴压力影响的参与者，更有可能经历来自恋爱伴侣的更高水平的强制行为（由那些伴侣报告），以及父母报告的较低水平的功能独立性。即使在考虑了青少年自信的基线水平之后，所有研究结果仍然成立。面临同伴压力增加风险的青少年，其特点是父母和同伴关系质量较差，以及自主能力方面的基线缺陷。结果表明，除了对越轨或危险行为可能产生的影响之外，同伴压力可能还反映出，在青少年从父母作为主要支持和互动来源向同伴转变的过程中，对自主性发展过程构成的强大威胁。
