This is a clich used often by parents wanting to convince their children that doing what \u201ceveryone else does\u201d is not always a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>For example, binge drinking is an increasing problem on college campuses, often with dire consequences (e.g., alcohol poisoning, unprotected sex, expulsion from school). Given the consequences, one wonders what compels college students to engage in such risky behavior. We know that fitting inbeing accepted by othersis a primary motive for doing what others do. In this case, conforming to ones referent groups norms (i.e., getting drunk is cool) gains ones acceptance to that group (Talbott, Wilkinson, Moore, &amp; Usdan, 2014; Wardell &amp; Read, 2013). Refusal to comply means rejection by the group.<\/p>\n<p>Binge drinking, clearly, is not in the best interest of individual college students, unless you consider the importance of\u00a0<em>belonging<\/em>\u00a0to and\u00a0<em>acceptance<\/em>\u00a0by the group.<\/p>\n<p>For this Discussion, you explore persuasion strategies with respect to the effects of peer influence on behavior.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>References:<br \/>\nTalbott, L.
