Why It Matters

Social influence can be subtle or suffocating. Research shows it shapes everything from what teens buy to how veterans cope after service. Left unchecked, it can;

• Push people into unsafe fads (crash diets, extreme workouts).
• Reinforce silence around trauma or addiction.
• Create pressure to appear “perfect” online while crumbling inside.

But awareness changes things. When you notice the pressure, you can choose differently. That’s empowerment.
