来自不同社区的两个6到12年级的样本被提供了关于青少年生活的两个主要方面的同伴从众倾向(接受同伴压力的意愿)、同伴压力的知觉和自我报告的行为频率的测量：同伴参与(与朋友的社交程度)和不端行为(吸毒/酗酒、性交和轻微犯罪行为)。受访者感觉到，与同伴参与相比，同伴对不当行为的压力更小，而且相对不愿跟随同伴的不当行为。然而，在自我报告的不端行为中，感知到的同伴压力和从众倾向比自我报告的同伴参与更能解释差异。年龄差异不大，而且在不同的测量和样本中存在差异。这些样本在感知压力和从众倾向的大小以及这些变量与自我报告行为的关联程度上也存在差异。这些发现揭示了青少年从众行为的复杂性，这一点需要在未来的研究中加以阐述。
Two samples of 6th to 12th graders from separate communities were given measures of peer conformity dispositions (willingness to accede to peer pressure), perceptions of peer pressure, and self-reported frequency of behavior concerning two major aspects of teenage life: peer involvement (degree of socializing with friends) and misconduct (drug/alcohol use, sexual intercourse, and minor delinquent behavior). Respondents perceived less peer pressure toward misconduct than peer involvement and also were comparatively less willing to follow peers in misconduct. Nevertheless, perceived peer pressure and conformity disposition accounted for more of the variance in self-reported misconduct than in self-reported peer involvement. Age differences were modest and varied among measures and samples. The samples also differed in the magnitude of perceived pressures and conformity dispositions as well as in the degree to which these variables were associated with self-reported behavior. The findings reveal a complexity in adolescent conformity that bears elaboration in future research.
