Pearl, Ruth; And Others
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v19 n1 p43-55 Feb 1990
The implicit scripts of adolescents experiencing peer pressure to engage in misconduct were examined for 198 high school students interviewed about 6 scenarios in which one adolescent asks another to misbehave. Differences based on sex, community (urban, suburban, and ethnic composition), and learning status (learning disabled or nondisabled) are discussed. (SLD)
