为了检验朋友对青少年在学校取得成就的动机的影响，118名八年级学生每人与一个亲密的朋友配对。这对朋友被随机分配到一个实验或控制条件。在实验条件下，朋友们讨论的困境，需要他们决定之间的2个行动反映不同水平的成就动机。在控制条件下，朋友们讨论与学校无关的话题。在讨论前后，所有青少年都独立地对困境做出了决定。第一个假设是，对困境的讨论会导致朋友决策的相似性增加。第二个假设是，讨论将导致转向更极端的决定。结果支持第一个假设，但不支持第二个假设。更和谐的讨论，包括更多的信息交流，导致决策的更大变化。
To examine the influence of friends on adolescents’ motivation to achieve in school, each of 118 eighth graders was paired with a close friend. The pairs of friends were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control condition. In the experimental condition, the friends discussed dilemmas that required them to decide between 2 actions reflecting different levels of achievement motivation. In the control condition, friends discussed topics unrelated to school. Before and after the discussions, all adolescents made decisions on the dilemmas independently. The 1st hypothesis was that discussions of the dilemmas would lead to an increase in the similarity of friends’ decisions. The 2nd hypothesis was that the discussions would lead to shifts toward more extreme decisions. The results supported the 1st hypothesis but not the 2nd. More harmonious discussions involving greater information exchange led to greater changes in decisions.
