I remember realizing in college that when I was confused but everyone else was quiet, if I just risked being the stupid one and asked a question, there'd often be an audible sigh of relief in the room. It was super empowering, and made me a lot less afraid to ask questions from there out. I never knew there was a term for that though!

Good point. Similarly, we support the idea that a victim should learn self-defense and stand up for themselves, aka "man up" but less often do we consider the notion of ceasing to enable bullying. Society collectively has a problematic tendency to expect/demand the victim "manage up" their bullies and abusers instead of us as a whole imposing harsher social/legal penalties to prevent and/or stop aggressors.

I've been trying to quit drinking, because I just don't like myself when I'm drunk and I don't like how I feel the next day physically and mentally. I genuinely enjoy going out sober though. Some of the best nights I ever had were when I was sober, but my friends get so mad at me for not drinking and call me boring. I know that makes my friends sound horrible, but apart from that they are really good people. I don't even think they are aware of why they say it, they have just heard it so many times from other people, that they started saying it themselves. I know in the end it's still my decision if I drink or not, but the peer pressure definitely makes it harder.

This is why people value outspoken leaders so much. They're the people who are brave enough to take the risk and speak up when everyone else is afraid to. They risk ostracism if they're wrong. But when they're right, they unite people around common interests that those people didn't realize were common. It often takes a leader to manifest the will of a group. It's also possible that more open communication in a group could mitigate this need.

I'm in that awkward spot where I'm gullible and indecisive, so when pressured, I do a weird halfway that is somehow worse than whatever I'm being told to do.

An advice that I've learned about how to conquer peer pressure, is simply by being optimistic, because at first, I've struggled by how this was going to help, but actually it's like an opposition towards thinking critically about what the situation is all about

So far best video i found on Peer Pressure. The hosting is too good in this video that i was able to understand each word without subtitle 😅. Keep making this kind of videos related to psychology. Again nice hosting skills you got there.

There is such thing as positive peer pressure. Going on a run with your friends is one of the healthiest thing you can do. You should encourage and even "pressure" them into it. We need to seek discomfort if it's going to improve and not harm us.

Well, i think the difference is supposed to be in "I disagree, and here's my logic behind that" But to be honest, in my experience, avoiding peer pressure is more about self respect, and understanding, than what you counter peer pressure with. Know when to say no, and stand up for yourself, and know whether you're doing something FOR your friend or BECAUSE of your friend.

The smoke experiment results could also be the result of the bystander effect. Some people may just leave the reporting it up to others in the group.

Thanks SciShow Psych for breaking it Down for the General public. You've planted a vast amount of seeds and, more people can hopefully metaphorically wake up.

When I used to work at Walmart, there were several people that liked to play loud music or turn the TV up really loud in the break room and I was dubbed "The Noise Police" because I would be the only one that was rude enough to ask them "Hey, could you please turn that down?" I visited my old workplace after a few months of being gone and many people have told me that they miss having the Noise Police because the loud music / TV bothered a lot more people than was immediately obvious and no one wants to speak up.

For me, peer pressure was bs. I grew up in a heavy metal crowd, in bands touring from 14 til 40, offered every substance possible and never touched a single drop of alcohol or consumed an illegal drug. Never have I received anything but respect for it.

You have to care about what others think about you to give into peer pressure. If you do not care, peer pressure does not work.

When I was a teenager, I was pretty naive yet I was also really strong willed and kinda moralistic... I never gived in to peer pressure when I genuinely didn't want to do something... And honestly? It was hard, I felt really isolated and got into arguments because I couldn't adequate to social norms... Sometimes I wish I had been more flexible.

I was always saying no to others when I was a teenager, especially those I didn’t respect. I didn’t have many friends. Take from that what you will.

this sounds like it is also related to the vice fender affect, or diffusion of responsibility. I've never made that connection until you made the example with people in a room of smoke.

In other words, if something is wrong, speak up!! If your friends are your friends, they will understand. The music analogy hit pretty square on, because there's a lot of music that aggravates migraines that I get pretty regularly. As a kid I wasn't sure how to tell others how the music made me feel (sometimes to the point of actually painful). Once I was older, I got over it, asking pretty quickly to at least turn the music down. Now even older, I know what causes the migraines, and I can actually listen to most of that music again and enjoy it (I know why they listened to Disturbed back then, they were and are still fantastic :P )

I feel like the host is a psych genius who knows all of our emotions and is trying to control us

I knew this stuff instinctively

The last two studies you cited (drinking and gender equality) seemed to me that the results may also have been resulting from peer pressure. I think the results of both are admirable, but the "everyone believes X" approach to change minds just seems to be the same thing.

peer pressure is a huge problem in schools. people should be more participant and apply their common sense to real life.

I always agreed to do things because of peer pressure, but then I’d bail at the last minute do to anxiety.

And this is why psychology classes should be mandatory in schools.

I always say "yes" and then just not do it. People eventually just stop asking.

Peer pressure is the reason those college classmate of mine do drugs together. It is the reason my ex-friends gain up together hating on me, and people hating on me once they're friends with them. It's the reason I lie about my sexual orientation.

Peer pressure for big things (like smoking, drinking, sex, talking behind someone's back, or really doing anything that is contrary to my subjective understanding of morality) never could sway me, but people's insistence would give me massive anxiety. Peer pressure for smaller things, or things that aren't contrary to my understanding of morality, have been able to sway me when under deress even if I don't want to do those things and people easily stress me alot.... :/ led to me being taken advantage of numerous times

I'm surprised they didn't mention the opposite thing that happens. It's like 60 people watch a crime go down in real time, but no one calls the police. I forget what it's called, but they know they're not the only one watching and each assumes enough people are seeing this that someone else has surely already called the police. It's similar to the CPR thing where they tell to assign a specific person to call 911 because just yelling "someone call 911" just results in everything thinking someone else will do it.

Very cool topic! I never knew about this; guess I was pluralisticly ignorant :)

I've never cared about fitting in with "the cool kids", ever since one day at school I noticed the cool kids being bullies. Right then and there, I consciously decided that I officially did not. CARE. About being "cool", and went on with my life. (I was only ten at the time, by the way.) Also, yeah, being a loner without many friends helps. When I did finally join a small group in high school, it was a close-knit NERD group and the worst we'd do is quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail in silly voices. :P

You know... that with "just say NO" doesn't work because we learned to ask "do you have anything against having sex with me?" Also, stopping at a red light is extreemly dangerous. Somebody could come from behind and run you over! I want to know more about that track! It sounds awesome! And, call me an ignorant but I just can't resist beer pressure. Never could - never will.
