ABSTRACT
This study investigates the impact of peer pressure on students' academic performance, aiming to elucidate the multifaceted nature of peer influences within educational settings. Peer pressure can be categorized into various types, but Moldes et al. (2019) identify four main categories: social belongingness, curiosity, the cultural-parenting orientation of parents, and education. In this study descriptive correlation was used. The study was conducted at Dai Nam University. The results show the relationship between the anticipated level of peer pressure concerning social belongingness, curiosity, the cultural-parenting orientation of parents, and education. The findings of this study indicate a significant relationship between peer pressure and academic performance, with both positive and negative influences observed. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of the social dynamics in educational contexts and offer practical implications for educators, policymakers, and parents in enhancing student academic success.
