  1. Hello everyone.
  2. I am martin Sandoval and today I'll be talking about
  3. my research.
  4. It is about how peer pressure can affect college students.
  5. In my research study, I made a google survey and
  6. that's the list of questions to college students, preferably students
  7. at texas state about their experience with period pressure and
  8. the factors that could possibly affect the way they respond
  9. to it.
  10. Many of us understand what peer pressure is but do
  11. not understand how big of a problem it can be.
  12. A lot of students fall under pressure for the main
  13. fact that they feel like they can trust the friend
  14. pressuring them, but they do not know or see how
  15. that one decision continue their lives all the way around.
  16. The reason I chose this topic was to let future
  17. students know that it is okay to signal to their
  18. friends when they feel uncomfortable with doing something, even if
  19. that means that they will lose a friend because a
  20. real friend would never force you to do something that
  21. you do not want to do.
  22. Here are my methods In my research, I first created
  23. a hypothesis.
  24. I posted the survey on social media.
  25. I waited 24 hours to collect information.
  26. I then collected and looked at the data and then
  27. I finally finished my hypothesis.
  28. Here are a few examples of questions I had in
  29. my survey.
  30. Have you ever been pure pressured while in college?
  31. Are you currently a texas state student?
  32. Have you ever experienced pressure at a college party?
  33. Have those decisions affected your schooling in any way?
  34. And do you attend school online or in prison?
  35. Out of the 15 students that did participate in my
  36. research, 13 of them have fallen under pressure.
  37. The 13 students also had issues with their grades, were
  38. falling behind their assignments in class and lived on campus.
  39. The two students that did not fall under pressure, both
  40. put that they did not have issues with school and
  41. lived at home.
  42. In conclusion, this proves my hypothesis right.
  43. My survey results show that the students I lived on
  44. campus seemed more likely to fall under peer pressure than
  45. the students that lived at home.
  46. The students living at home know that they have someone
  47. watching over them, so they are constantly being reminded of
  48. what they should not do.
  49. On the other hand, students that live on campus full
  50. of a sense of freedom and make decisions sometimes without
  51. thinking because they do not have to worry about anyone
  52. looking over them.
  53. And that is my research.
  54. Thank you for listening.
