同伴影响过程已经被广泛地记录为一系列适应不良的青少年行为。然而，同伴社会化本身并不是有害的，而且很少有人知道青少年是否会影响彼此的亲社会行为，或者一些同伴是否比其他人更有影响力。本研究通过一个实验性的“聊天室”范式来探讨亲社会行为认可对同伴的影响。一项以学校为基础的304名青少年样本（55%女性，45%男性;法师= 12.68）认为他们正在与同性同学进行电子互动（即，“e-confederates”），他们的同伴地位被实验性地操纵。参与者参与亲社会行为的意图在实验前以及随后的“公共”和“私人”实验会话中进行测量。总体而言，青少年符合电子联盟的亲社会反应在公共场合，然而，这些同伴影响力的影响是由电子联盟的同伴地位，使青年更强烈地符合高地位的电子联盟比低地位的。也有一些证据表明，这些同伴影响力的影响保持在私人会议，表明潜在的亲社会的同伴规范的内化。这些发现有助于弥合积极的青年发展和同伴影响力的文献，与运动，以增加亲社会行为的潜在影响。
Peer influence processes have been documented extensively for a wide range of maladaptive adolescent behaviors. However, peer socialization is not inherently deleterious, and little is known about whether adolescents influence each other’s prosocial behaviors, or whether some peers are more influential than others towards positive youth outcomes. This study addressed these questions using an experimental “chat room” paradigm to examine in vivo peer influence of prosocial behavior endorsement. A school-based sample of 304 early adolescents (55 % female, 45 % male; Mage = 12.68) believed they were interacting electronically with same-gender grademates (i.e., “e-confederates”), whose peer status was experimentally manipulated. The participants’ intent to engage in prosocial behaviors was measured pre-experiment and in subsequent “public” and “private” experimental sessions. Overall, the adolescents conformed to the e-confederates’ prosocial responses in public; yet, these peer influence effects were moderated by the peer status of the e-confederates, such that youth more strongly conformed to the high-status e-confederates than to the low-status ones. There also was some evidence that these peer influence effects were maintained in the private session, indicating potential internalization of prosocial peer norms. These findings help bridge the positive youth development and peer influence literatures, with potential implications for campaigns to increase prosocial behaviors.
