In what ways do acquaintances improve health? How does the author explain these potential improvements? That is, why does having more diverse contacts potentially improve our health?
After reading the blog post on positive peer pressure, think about the positive aspects of how group memberships and network ties influence individual behavior. Give an example of positive peer pressure, such as peer influence that you’ve personally experienced (as the one who was influenced or the one who influenced someone else), or that you’ve seen first-hand, or from the news, TV, or from a film. Why do you think the person was influenced by the peer pressure?
Are there specific types of groups that might have the most beneficial influence on an individual’s behavior (e.g., primary groups, secondary groups, in-groups, out-groups, reference groups)?
