Scientists scanning and mapping the Giza pyramids say they've discovered th at the GreatPyramid

2. Peer Pressure Has a Positive Side
A)
Parents of teenagers often view their children's friends with something
worry that the adolescent peer group has the power to push its members intobehavior that
is foolish and even dangerous. Such warinessis well founded: statistics show,for example, that
a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of afatal crash than an
adolescent driving alone or with an adult.
B)
In a 2005 study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg of Temple University and his co-author,
psychologist Margo Gardner, then at Temple, divided 306people into three agegroups: young
adolescents, with a mean age of 14; older adolescents, with a mean age of 19;and adults,
aged 24 and older. Subjectsplayed a computerized driving game in which theplayer must
avoid crashinginto a wall that materializes, without warning, on the erg
andGardner randomly assigned some participants to play alone or with twosame-age peers
looking on.
C)
Older adolescents scored about 50 percent higher on an index of risky driving when theirpeers
were in the room—and the driving of early adolescents was fully twice as recklesswhen
other young teens were around. In contrast, adults behaved in similar ways regardlessof
whether they were on their own orobserved by ce of peers
makesadolescents and youth, but not adults, more likely to take risks,Steinberg and
Gardnerconcluded.
D)
Yet in the years following the publication of this study, Steinberg began tobelieve that
thisinterpretation did not capture the whole picture. As he and other researchers
examinedthe question of why teens were more apt to takerisks in the company of other
teenagers,they came to suspect that a crowd's influence need not always be negative. Now
someexperts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teen brain's keen
sensitivityto the presence of friends and leverage it to improve education.
E)
In a 2011 study, Steinberg and his colleagues turned to functional MRI (磁共振) toinvestigate
how the presence of peers affects the activity in the adolescent brain. Theyscanned the
brains of 40 teens and adults who were playing a virtual driving game designedto test
whether players would brake at a yellow light or speed on through the crossroad.
F)
The brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associatedwith
rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers than when alone. In otherwords,
rewards are more intense for teens whenthey are with peers, which motivates themto
pursue higher-risk experiencesthat might bring a big payoff (such as the thrill of justmaking
the light beforeit turns red). But Steinberg suspected this tendency could also haveits
advantages. In his latest experiment, published online in August, Steinberg and hiscolleagues
used a computerized version of a card game called the Iowa Gambling Task toinvestigate how
the presence of peers affects the way young people gather and applyinformation.
G)
The results: Teens who played the Iowa Gambling Task under the eyes of fellowadolescents
engaged in more exploratory behavior, learned faster fromboth positive andnegative
outcomes, and achieved better performance on the task than those who played
insolitude.
when their peers are present than when they're on their own,Steinberg this
finding could have important implications for how we think about educatingadolescents.
H) Matthew D. Lieberman, a social cognitive neuroscientist at the Universityof California,Los
Angeles, and author of the 2013 book Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect,suspects that
