The Influence of Parents and Peers on Choices Made by Adolescents.

Emmerich, Helen Jones

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v7 n2 p175-80 Jun 1978

Ninth-and twelfth-graders read hypothetical situations in which an adolescent had a choice favored by parents and a choice favored by peers. Subjects picked the alternative most likely to be chosen by the adolescent. Ninth-grade boys chose the parent-approved alternative more often than ninth-grade girls or twelfth-grade boys.
