Resistance and Conformity

It is normal for peer influence resistance, or the capacity to resist making decisions or adopting viewpoints as a result of the implicit or explicit influence of your peers, to alter during adolescence. The field has shown two divergent developmental pathways. When it comes to antisocial events, teenagers' resistance to peer influence temporarily declines, yet when it comes to neutral peer influence, they appear to become more resistant. We'll discuss studies that looked at how self-reported resistance to peer pressure varied by age and gender. Additionally, connections between resistance to peer pressure and structural and functional neuromaturational alterations will be explored. Finally, potential directions for more study to advance the science of resistance to peer pressure.
