Question

Grade 9 - Physical Education

Can anyone help me answer these questions?

• Identify two examples of how peer influences or attitudes affect your physical activity behaviors.
• Include one negative and one positive peer influence.

Answer 1

Peer influences can affect you because you may want to fit in, so you do all the "trendy stuff" regardless of your original feelings.

Answer 2

Two examples:
1. Can give you motivation to try harder because others are doing really well.
2. Can give you more reasons to participate. Ex: group activities, friends

Negative influence: not wanting to participate because you’re self-conscious

Positive influence: socialize and get to meet new people

Hope this helps somewhat!
