Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is something we live with since the moment we are born. It is something that encourages us to fit in and be like everyone else. As we grow older, we gradually develop a secondary personality for the public self, leaving the private, the real personality only for our loved ones.

Social psychology explains how people unconsciously compare one’s own attitudes, values, interests and personality with others. Those with a high similarity are likely to develop into interpersonal attractions, leading onto friendships or romantic relationships.

However, not everyone has the potential or enthusiasm to act through their life just to impress others. Can products be designed to create these similarities for you? And can these products create the perfect secondary personality for us?
