II Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Peer pressure for teenagers is nothing new However, social media worsens thispressure 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 asocial 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 andattention - was greater when viewing photos with more “likes”
- This was true whether the photo depicted risky behaviour (such as a peerholding a cigarette) or not
These results indicate that teens learn from the social cues of their peers onlineand take note when they are rewarded with “likes” and attention
- worsen (v): trở nên xấu đi
- depict (v): miêu tá
