Peer pressure that persuades.....

"But how much quicker would your attitude have adjusted if your best friend had dared you to eat them? Or if eating broccoli had suddenly become the newest craze in your fifth-grade class?
A new form of social data that harnesses the power of peer pressure is emerging as a potentially powerful way to change behavior and spur the growth of new categories of products. It works because peer pressure data goes beyond demonstrating the functions of a product to satisfy deeply powerful emotional or social needs we may not even realize we have."

Young people, especially teenagers, have to deal with peer pressure.
"They may be feeling 'peer pressure' and may think that to 'fit in' they would have to adopt similar values, beliefs, and goals or participate in the same activities as their friends. A 4-year-old who begs for a toy because her friends all have it is experiencing peer pressure. An adult who buys a luxury car because others in the neighborhood have luxury cars is responding to peer pressure."
