 1. Abstract

Peer pressure is one of the most well-known problems that exist in any
workplace, environment, especially at school where students are assigned to
the same class.

We can be able to recommend some of the methods that hopefully reduce

the negative effects of peer pressure

With the statistical data that has been analyzed, the results indicate that
‘personality traits’ is by far the most influential factor and ‘financial
circumstances’ is the least influential factor causing peer pressure.
