    Family

    There are strong reasons to think that families, and their economic
    circumstances in particular, influence both parents’
    and children’s emotions and behaviors(4.1 pg 2). It is based on evidence from both human and animal
    studies that punishing experiences, such as economic pressure,
    have a negative effect which can take many forms, such
    as despondency, depression, anger, or aggression(4.1 pg 2). Family can change many different emotions and it can also affect daily life.

    Peers

    Adolescents are quite
    likely to emulate the behavior of popular peers. A peer is a
    person who is equal to another in abilities, qualifications, age,
    background, and social status. They have a strong investment
    in social comparison and reflected appraisal and with meeting
    the demands of those considered the most popular in their
    peer group(4.1 pg 3).
