Reconciling multiple sources of influence: Longitudinal associations among perceived parent, closest friend, and popular peer injunctive norms and adolescent substance use

Nathan H. Field et al.

Summary: The study examined the associations between parental, friend, and peer injunctive norms and the onset and frequency of substance use among a diverse sample of 868 seventh- and eighth-grade adolescents. The results showed that adolescents' substance use norms were more lenient than their perceptions of parents' and stricter than their perceptions of friends'. Stricter perceptions of parent and friend norms were associated with a later onset of substance use.

On the microfoundations of the link between classroom social norms and behavioral development

Rene Veenstra et al.

Summary: This article examines the relationship between social norms and behavioral development, specifically focusing on how classroom norms affect children's decisions to defend others or refrain from defending. Norms are shaped by group consensus and can shape individual behavior. The study of norms in peer relations research has highlighted the importance of group-level processes, particularly at the classroom level, in creating shared meanings that impact behavior and social adjustment. The micro-level mechanisms of norm conformity, pluralistic ignorance, and power balance are proposed as potential explanations for the link between classroom norms and defending behavior. Further research directions include evaluating microfoundations, exploring gender-specific versus common norms, examining competing classroom norms, testing developmental effects of norms, studying the influence of teachers on social norms, and considering the impact of personal norms.

The Perfect Storm: A Developmental-Sociocultural Framework for the Role of Social Media in Adolescent Girls' Body Image Concerns and Mental Health

Sophia Choukas-Bradley et al.

Summary: This theoretical review paper provides a developmental-sociocultural framework to understand the role of social media in adolescent girls' body image concerns, depressive symptoms, and disordered eating. The paper proposes that features of social media, adolescent developmental factors, and sociocultural gender socialization processes intersect to exacerbate girls' body image concerns. The paper argues that body image concerns may be a key mechanism linking adolescent girls' social media use to their mental health.

Toward understanding the functions of peer influence: A summary and synthesis of recent empirical research

Brett Laursen et al.

Summary: Compelling evidence shows that peer influence greatly impacts adolescent attitudes and behaviors, shaping both adaptive and maladaptive outcomes. The Influence-Compatibility Model integrates the idea of increased conformity in early adolescence with evidence of peer influence increasing affiliate similarity, ultimately facilitating the establishment of friendships, group integration, and reducing differences that may lead to social exclusion.
