Active peer pressure occurs when your friends explicitly persuade you to do something. Examples are offering and forcing you to drink then criticizing for refusing it. Forcing you to attend a party even your parents do not agree. On the other hand, passive peer pressure happens within a person's want to fit in to his/her colleagues. It is further classified into social modeling and perception. Example for social modeling is when you see all your friends are drinking then you just drink also because you do not want to be left out. Perception, on the other hand, is when you perceive that your peers are happy drinking then you drink as well because you believe that you also will be happy doing this.
Sample Response: Active peer pressure is when others try to persuade you to do something you do not want to do. This includes persuading, teasing, bribing, putting others down, and threats. Passive peer pressure is similar to active because you are being swayed to do something you do not want to do; however, it does not involve manipulating or persuading. It is more subtle.
