▼a This dissertation examines how American adolescents relate to different peer reference groups as sites for social comparison and approval. Leveraging Waves 1 and 2 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, four essays address different groups' implications for emotional attachment to school, perceptions of social consequences of sexual intercourse, and virginity loss.Chapter 2 considers network closure in intermediate social circles, commonly overlooked in structural analyses of adolescent friendship networks. Network researchers typically focus on either the immediate circle of friends (personal or egocentric network) or the entire student body (global network). I argue that closure within intermediate peer groups ("neighbor networks"), consisting of friends and friends-of-friends, foster feelings of belonging in school by serving as intermediaries between the personal network and the broader student community. I demonstrate that peer group closure is at least as strong a predictor of belonging as personal network closure. Moreover, as adolescents face increasing demands to maintain friendships in their immediate circle, peer group closure takes on increased importance.Chapter 3 proposes new methods for analyzing latent traits in network data from multiple groups. In example applications, I demonstrate how school contexts moderate gender gaps in (a) friendship strength and (b) the alignment of friendship strength with the tendency to discuss personal problems with friends.Chapters 4 and 5 turn to adolescents' perceptions of the social consequences of sexual intercourse. Chapter 4 questions a common measurement assumption in quantitative studies of peer influence on sexual behavior: that peers' own behaviors and attitudes adequately capture the potential for social pressure. I show at both the school and peer group level that adolescents' perceptions of how their friends would respond to sexual intercourse are largely unrelated to peers' own desires and current sexual activity. Building on these findings, Chapter 5 examines how the association of virginity loss with individual preferences for sex and its anticipated social consequences varies across schools. I find that features of the school environment moderate the association of virginity loss with individuals' desires and their perceptions of social consequences, but the salient ecological features differ for boys and girls. |
