Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,
I am doing my science project on peer pressure and which gender is more susceptible to peer pressure. I already got data from an experiment using 10 of my classmates, but I still need an interview. So I have some questions.
1. What is peer pressure?
2. Why does peer pressure work?
3. Who is/are most affected by peer pressure? (age group)
4. Which gender is more susceptible to peer pressure? Why?
5. Why do some people give in to peer pressure?
6. When (if ever) do people become less susceptible to peer pressure?
7. Why does peer pressure happen?
8. How does peer pressure affect different people?

Please answer these as soon as you can. Thank you so much.

Hi Stardust,

Have you read the information from ScienceBuddies about posting interview questions?

It may be that the reason you have not yet received a response to your post is that none of the Experts checking this forum feel qualified to answer these questions for you. This is certainly outside my area of expertise.

Do you have more general questions you can ask of an expert?

Heather,
Thanks for replying to my post. I will ask some more general questions.

I generalized my questions.

1. What is behavioral science?
2. Why is behavioral science studied?
3. What are some behavioral subjects studied?
4. What age groups are usually studied? Why?

Thanks!
