Navigating the Social Maze: Examining the impact of Peer Pressure on Decision Making in Noveleta Senior High School Students

Le résumé fourni par la source

This quantitative study investigated the relationship between peer pressure and decision-making among Grade 11 and 12 students at Noveleta Senior High School (NSHS). Using a correlational research design, data was collected through a structured survey questionnaire from 100 participants. The findings revealed a moderate preference for unpredictable tasks and peer influence among respondents. A significant positive correlation (r = 0.45, p < .001) was found between peer pressure and decision-making outcomes, indicating that increased peer pressure corresponded to higher decision-making outcomes. The study also highlighted the influence of peer pressure on academic performance, social behaviors, and activities, with individual self-esteem, personal values, and supportive networks identified as moderating factors. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of peer pressure’s impact on decision-making, providing valuable insights for students, educators, school administrators, and society at large. Furthermore, the study’s findings have implications for developing strategies to mitigate negative peer pressure and promote informed decision-making.
