Discussion 1: The Influence of Peers

“If Johnny jumps off a cliff are you going to jump, too”? This is a clich used often by parents wanting to convince their children that doing what “everyone else does” is not always a good idea.

For example, binge drinking is an increasing problem on college campuses, often with dire consequences (e.g., alcohol poisoning, unprotected sex, expulsion from school). Given the consequences, one wonders what compels college students to engage in such risky behavior. We know that fitting inbeing accepted by othersis a primary motive for doing what others do. In this case, conforming to ones referent groups norms (i.e., getting drunk is cool) gains ones acceptance to that group (Talbott, Wilkinson, Moore, & Usdan, 2014; Wardell & Read, 2013). Refusal to comply means rejection by the group.

Binge drinking, clearly, is not in the best interest of individual college students, unless you consider the importance of belonging to and acceptance by the group.

For this Discussion, you explore persuasion strategies with respect to the effects of peer influence on behavior.

To Prepare
  • Review the Learning Resources for this week and examine how social psychology theory and research explain the effects of peer influence on behavior.
  • Consider persuasion strategies that a social psychologist might use to convince someone to defy peer pressure.
By Day 3

Post an explanation for how you might persuade someone to “do what is in her or his best interest” when it means defying group demands. Use social psychology theory and research to support your persuasion strategy.
