II Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions

Peer pressure for teenagers is nothing new However, social media worsens this pressure because

teens are exposed to and getting feedback from many more people than they would encounter in

daily life

Teens can be especially influenced by “likes” on social media sites like Instagram or Facebook In a small 2016 study of teenage participants, researchers created a social media feed similar to Instagram

and measured the teens’ brain responses Here’s what they found:

- Teens were more likely to “like” photos that already had a large number of likes

- Teens’ brain activity — specifically areas associated with reward processing and attention - was greater when viewing photos with more “likes”

- This was true whether the photo depicted risky behaviour (such as a peer holding a cigarette) or not These results indicate that teens learn from the social cues of their peers online and take note when they are rewarded with “likes” and attention

- worsen (v): trở nên xấu đi
