Physical activity and screen time in adolescents and their friends
2013, American Journal of Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :The age group effect (middle school versus high school) for only four associations indicates limited support for the current hypothesis that associations would be stronger for the older high school students versus the younger middle school students. Some previous research, primarily in smoking initiation,18,19 supports an age-related increase in peer influence, but not all studies have observed such findings,52 and at least one study53 showed age-related increases in resistance to peer influences. The current findings may indicate that friend influences on MVPA and screen time may already be established by middle school.
Pressure to drink but not to smoke: Disentangling selection and socialization in adolescent peer networks and peer groups
2010, Journal of AdolescenceCitation Excerpt :First, our study included older adolescents (16 years at the beginning of the study), and therefore the results can be generalized only to this age group. Peer socialization may be greater during the early adolescent years when conformity is highest (Berndt, 1979, see also Urberg et al., 1991, see also Aikins, Simon, & Prinstein, 2010, from this special issue). Second, peer relations were studied only among same-grade peers from the same schools.
