Answer 1

Most individuals are likely to observe and imitate their peer group. For example, Riya coloured her hair after her best friend Meena did. Riya started wearing crop tops to match her group's fashion. Peer groups influence our behaviour, attitudes, and decision-making abilities. We often adopt similar communication styles, eating habits, and other behaviours as our peers. Such imitation of peers helps shape our overall personality.
