From a theoretical perspective, it has been shown [26] that the three-degrees-of-influence property naturally emerges as the outcome of the interplay between social influence, or learning dynamics, and complex networks. These studies employed emblematic models to study the diffusion of information, opinions, ideas and behaviors on a wide range ...
Social influence comprises the ways in which individuals adjust their behavior to meet the demands of a social environment. It takes many forms and can be seen in conformity, socialization, peer pressure, obedience, leadership, persuasion, sales, and marketing. Typically social influence results from a specific action, command, or request, but ...
Peer groups can have great influence or peer pressure on each other's behavior, depending on the amount of pressure. However, currently more than 23 percent of children globally lack enough connections with their age group, and their cognitive, emotional and social development are delayed than other kids.

The pressure to bend to normative influence increases for actions performed in public, whereas this pressure decreases for actions done in private. [13] In another variation of the Asch study, the researchers allowed the participant to privately write down his answer after all of the confederates had publicly stated their answers; this ...
Understanding peer contagion effects in group intervention programs is important because deviant peer influences can offset their positive effects. [9] Research focuses on understanding the conditions that affect the strength of peer contagion ( moderators ) and identifying mechanisms that might account for it ( mediators ) to develop methods ...
Hierarchy of influences model has been employed as theoretical framework to explain different levels of influences on media content. Researchers have studied professionalism, journalistic roles, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] cross-national comparative journalistic roles, [ 5 ] comparative media studies, and understanding news production to name a few of closely ...
Conformity plays a significant role in the vast impact that peer group influence has on an individual. Aronson, Wilson, & Akert (2013) [41] point to the research experiment conducted by Solomon Asch (1956), [42] to ascertain whether a group could influence an individual's behavior. The experiment was executed by asking a participant determine ...
