Erickson's theory of social development states that peer pressure is necessary for individuals to learn and develop through both positive and negative social influences. People form their individuality and personality based on these influences. In academics, understanding peer pressure is important for improvement but can also be a distraction. Peer pressure faced by students can positively impact academic performance through support from peer groups, but can also negatively impact performance. This study aims to understand the effects of peer pressure on the academic performance of 11th grade HUMSS students.

The theoretical framework of this study is anchored on Erickson's Theory on Social
development. Erickson's theory states that peer pressure is needed for a person to learn and grow as an individual through positive and negative influences. People may develop their individuality and personality from their social influences. Both negative and positive influences are used to form an individual.

Peer pressure could also make a student got better grades when they get support from their peer group and the students may excell in class. In order to know what are the effects brought by peer pressure on the level of academic performance of G11 HUMSS students, the researchers conducted this study.
