    The documents discuss the influence of peer groups on adolescents' academic performance and socialization. Peers become highly influential during early adolescence as youth seek to build identity and answer questions about who they are. While peer groups can provide positive support, they can also negatively impact academics and encourage risky behaviors. Research shows both stronger students within a peer group and peer rejection can influence academic outcomes. It is important for educators to understand peer dynamics and their complex role in adolescents' lives.

    Article Title: PEER INFLUENCE IN RELATION TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND

    SOCIALIZATION AMONG ADOLESCENTS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

    Author: Nicole Marie Howard

    Excerpt:

    According to Castrogiovanni (2002), a peer group is defined as a small group of similarly aged;

    fairly close friends, sharing the same activities. In general, peer groups or cliques have two to twelve

    members, with an average of five or six. Peer groups provide a sense of security and they help

    adolescents to build a sense of identity. Adolescents ask questions relating to social identity theory such

    as, “Who am I?” and “What do I want out of life?” Feeling part of a group, be it the stereotypical jocks,

    goths, or punks, allows adolescents to feel like they are on the way to answering some of these

    questions. Given that adolescents spend twice as much time with peers as with parents or other adults, it

    is important to study the influence or pressures that peers place on each other.

    Adolescents are well aware that they influence each other. Lashbrook (2000) reported on a

    national Gallup poll release that surveyed 13- to 17-year-olds.

    As already eluded to, peers can also provide many positive elements in an adolescent’s life. It is

    important, however, to remember that peer influence can potentially have a deadly impact or other

    various negative effects. It is vital for education-related professionals to understand the complex aspects

    of peer influence in order to stop these negative effects before they occur.

    Article Title: How Peers Influence Academic Performance | LoveToKnow

    Author: Valorie Delp

    Excerpt:

    Research on Influence of Peer Groups

    According to a study published by the Williams Project on the Study of Economics in Higher

    Education, stronger students do have an impact on their peers and actually help improve the overall

    academic performance of the peer group.

    Another rather large study done by CREDE (the Center for Research in Education, Diversity and

    Excellence) suggests that peer groups are highly influential during early adolescence but that peers are

    less influential as kids get older.

    Undoubtedly, experts agree that peer groups have an influence on academic performance. What

    experts do not agree on is to what extent and the variables within that influence.

    Article Title: How The Impact of Peer Relations in the Academic Process among Adolescents

    Author: Irma Leka (Peza), PhD Candidate

    University of Tirana, Faculty of Social Sciences, Albania

    Excerpt:

    Extensive literature emphasizes that peer group influences social and academic development and

    that these influences are transformed into a startup of formal education (Anthony Pellegrini, 1992).

    Influences and motivations for all sorts of behaviors of adolescents, including study habits and academic

    personal development, do not come only from their peers, but also by their parents, teachers and others

    with whom they establish contacts (Kathryn Wentzel, 1998). But, because of the time that many

    adolescent spend every day with his friends or her coevals the impact can be substantial.

    Studies on the impact of peer orientation and group rates in adolescents are a lens with which to

    examine the academic achievement. From another point of view, previous studies have investigated the

    impact of peer rejection on academic achievement. Research shows that peer rejection at all time points

    (in the present and in the past) have negative effects on school attendance, and in external or inner

    behavioral problems (DeRosier, Kupersmidt, and Patterson, 1994).
