Abstract

By interviewing typical Chinese high school students, this paper discusses the influencing factors of peer pressure in the academic environment of Chinese high school, the psychological characteristics reflected by buzzwords such as “involution” and “Buddha-like” and the methods commonly used by high school students to cope with peer pressure. First of all, the influencing factors of peer pressure are widely distributed, ranging from small individuals and families to schools, countries and society. However, “involution” and “Buddha-like” depict two different coping attitudes in the face of such pressure, reflecting two different attitudes. To be more specific, senior high school students can use methods such as downward comparison, self-acceptance, self-motivation and advantages-concentration to increase their mental resilience, psychological endurance and reduce the influence of peer pressure.
