Different peers influence different behaviors: Conformity to best friends and status-based norms across the transition into adolescence / Mary Page LEGGETT-JAMES in Development and Psychopathology, 38-3 (August 2026)

The present study examines the assertion that the magnitude of influence from friends and popularity-based norms varies across behavioral domains. Participants were 543 (268 girls, 275 boys) students from 29 5th–8th grade (ages 10 to 14) classrooms in three Lithuanian public middle schools. Most were ethnic Lithuanians. Self-reports of socioemotional adjustment, including emotional problems, lack of emotional clarity, problem behaviors, social media use, and weight concerns, were collected in the fall and winter of a single academic year, approximately three months apart. Popularity and academic achievement were assessed through peer nominations. Top-ranked best friends were identified from outgoing nominations. Status-based norms, calculated separately for each socioemotional adjustment variable in the fall (Time 1), represented popularity-weighted classroom averages. Results from longitudinal Group Actor-Partner Interdependence Model analyses indicated that best friends and status-based norms exerted differing amounts of influence over different behaviors. When both were included in the same model (with shared effects removed), best friends influenced emotional problems, lack of emotional clarity, and problem behaviors. Among older adolescents, best friends also influenced academic achievement. Status-based norms influenced social media use and, among older adolescents, weight concerns.

Maternal disapproval of friends in response to child conduct problems damages the peer status of pre- and early adolescents / Goda KANIUÅ ONYTÄ– ; Brett LAURSEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-2 (February 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-2 (February 2025) . - p.178-188 Titre : Maternal disapproval of friends in response to child conduct problems damages the peer status of pre- and early adolescents : Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Goda KANIUÅ ONYTÄ–, Auteur ; Brett LAURSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.178-188 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Maternal disapproval of friends  conduct problems  peer status  rejection  acceptance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Herein, we consider the hypothesis that mothers harm peer relations when they respond to child conduct problems by expressing disapproval of friends, which exacerbates the behavior problems they were presumably attempting to deter. Methods A community sample of Lithuanian adolescents (292 boys and 270 girls, aged 9 14 years) completed surveys three times during an academic year. Classmate nominations indexed peer status (acceptance and rejection), self-reports described perceived maternal disapproval of friends, and peer nominations and self-reports separately gauged conduct problems. Results Over the course of a school year: (a) conduct problems were associated with subsequent increases in perceived maternal friend disapproval; (b) perceived maternal friend disapproval was associated with subsequent decreases in peer status; and (c) low peer status was associated with subsequent increases in conduct problems. Full longitudinal, random-intercept cross-lagged panel mediation models confirmed that mothers who disapproved of friends were sources of peer difficulties that culminated in conduct problems and intermediaries whose response to child conduct problems damaged peer relations. Findings were stronger for peer rejection than for peer acceptance, suggesting that peers actively dislike those with mothers who intervene in peer relationships. Conclusions Maternal disapproval of friends in response to child conduct problems damages the child's standing among peers, which then exacerbates behavior problems. This consequential cascade underscores the need for parent education about the potential deleterious consequences of well-intentioned interference in peer relations. Practitioners should be prepared to offer constructive, alternative solutions when youth present behavior problems.
