摘要：Objective:The objective of the study was to explore the connection between peer pressure and academic stress among junior high school students.
Methods:This descriptive correlational study was conducted to investigate the link between perceived peer pressure and academic stress.The study involved a total of 525 adolescents,aged 14-19 years,drawn from 6 public junior high schools(PJHS)in Padang,Indonesia,using purposive sampling.Academic stress and perceived peer pressure were assessed using the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents(ESSA)and the Perceived Peer Pressure Scale(PPPS).
Results:The findings indicated significant variations in stress levels among students in different grade levels(7th,8th,and 9th grades)(P＜0.05),while there were no noteworthy differences in peer pressure across these grade levels(P＞0.05).Additionally,there was a positive correlation observed between perceived peer pressure and academic stress(r=0.14,P＜0.05).Furthermore,multiple regression analyses,incorporating demographic variables and perceived peer pressure as independent factors,yielded statistically significant results(adjusted R2=0.082,F=4.33,P＜0.001).Notably,peer pressure had a direct impact on academic stress among adolescents,with class level and parents'educational background mediating the relationship between academic stress and adolescent behavioral problems.
Conclusions:These findings underscore the importance of addressing both external and internal factors at the individual,family,school,and societal levels to enhance adolescents'psychological resilience and mitigate problem behaviors.
