Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Peers influence social development first through attitudes and values. Peers communicate attitudes and values in areas ranging from the importance of schoolwork to definitions of right and wrong. For example, if peer groups are academically oriented, they promote effort and achievement, but if they reject school values, students are more likely to cut classes, skip school, cheat, and even use drugs. Second, peers influence social development through opportunities to practice social skills. The extent to which we are able to make friends and establish meaningful relationships in life depends on social skills. Peers, and especially close friends, provide opportunities to practice these skills. And, third, peers influence social development by providing emotional support. Peers, and especially friends, provide both emotional support and a sense of identity. Students tend to select friends and seek emotional support from those who are similar in gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, academic orientation, and long-term goals.
