Peers are an important source of normative pressure in the context of adolescent risky behaviors, which is reflected in high behavioral homophily repeatedly found in adolescent groups. Two psychosocial mechanisms underlying this similarity have been identified: peer influence (or pressure) and peer selection (the process of befriending individuals similar to oneself). The two mechanisms have been explored primarily in the context of non-sexual adolescent risk taking (e.g., tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse). This study is the first longitudinal comparison of peer influence and peer selection in the context of female adolescents' sexual initiation. Using data from 162 female high-school students (Mage = 16 years, SD = 0.47) surveyed online twice in the period of 18 months, a cross-lagged path analysis pointed to a significant effect of peer influence, but not peer selection. Contrary to expectations, the moderating effect of peer conformism was not corroborated. This study’s findings confirm the importance of taking into account direct and indirect peer influence when designing comprehensive sexuality education programs.

女青少年性登场背景下同伴影响和同伴选择效应的比较

在青少年的危险行为中,同伴是规范压力的重要来源,这在青少年群体中屡屡发现的高行为同质性中得到了反映。已经确定了这种相似性背后的两种社会心理机制:同伴影响(或压力)和同伴选择(与自己相似的人交往的过程)。主要在非性青少年冒险行为(例如,吸烟,酗酒和吸毒)的背景下探讨了这两种机制。这项研究是在女性青少年的性启动情况下,同伴影响和同伴选择的首次纵向比较。使用来自162位女高中学生(年龄= 16岁,SD = 0.47)的数据,在18个月内进行了两次在线调查,交叉滞后路径分析指出了同influence影响的显着影响,但同peer选择却没有。与预期相反,同伴顺从性的调节作用并未得到证实。这项研究的结果证实了在设计全面的性教育计划时考虑直接和间接同伴影响的重要性。
