Abstract

This research mainly investigates the correlation between people’s definition of success, the positiveness of reaction to peer pressure, and self-perceived confidence level in achieving one’s own life goals in the field of social psychology. The influences of culture--China and Japan, gender, and education level on the three factors above were also examined. Questionnaires were utilized to collect data and to draw conclusions about the interplay between the variables. T-tests, ANOVA, and tests for correlations were conducted on SPSS. The results demonstrate that there is a significant correlation between one’s definition of success and positiveness of reaction to peer pressure, a significant correlation between positiveness of reaction to peer pressure and one’s confidence level, and a significant correlation between one’s definition of success and one’s self-perceived confidence level. This research report first provides an overview of the literature relevant to the topic, then the research design, methods, and procedures will be explained, and then the analysis of data, the research results, and discussion of the results will be provided; finally, future investigations and policy implications will be suggested.
