College 3 - Risk behaviorRisk behavior among young people: Peers as risk or protective factor?
Peers are: best friend(s), group of friends (clique), peers with whom you spend time,
siblings, classmates, boyfriend/girlfriend etc.
, biological maturity ← maturity gap → social maturity
Explanation 3: Social identity theory (Kobus, 2003)
• During adolescence and young adulthood: Autonomy and identity development
• The peer group to which you belong has a significant impact on your self esteem
• Sense of belonging • Categorisation – identification - comparison
• The social identity becomes integrated into your self-concept
(Tajfel & Turner, 1986)
Reputational salience hypothesis (Hartup, 1996)
• Young people do not exhibit similarities in all their behaviours/attitudes
• Why do they do so with risk behaviour? – reputational salience (popularity); Hartup 1996
Underlying mechanisms:
Selection:
- Adolescents and young adults choose friends/others (or are chosen) to spend time
with = formation of friendships.
- Complementary hypothesis
- Similarity-attraction hypothesis (Byrne,1971) “birds of a feather flock
together” → better understanding of each other and therefore stable and
rewarding relationships, less conflict
More evidence for homogeneous groups than heterogeneous groups (Brechwald &
Prinstein, 2011).
De-selection:
- Adolescents and young adults choose friends/others (or are chosen) to spend time
with = formation of friendships.
