agree  CGagnon: Entre «pairs» et «groupe», mon coeur balance. Compte tenu qu'il y a «pressure and norms», on devrait peut-être parler de l'«influence des comportements des pairs». Ce n'est pas littéral, mais ça me semble rendre l'idée.

la pression des pairs


Explanation:
Expression très courante, d'autant plus dans ce domaine.

Qu'est ce que la pression des pairs? Lorsque quelqu'un du même groupe d'âge essaie de vous influencer à penser ou à agir comme lui, voilà ce qu'on appelle la pression des pairs. Cette pression affecte tout le monde, mais plus particulièrement les adolescents. Pendant l'adolescence, les jeunes doivent prendre de nombreuses décisions importantes. La pression de leurs pairs peut rendre ces décisions encore plus difficiles.

http://www.canadian-health-network.ca/faq-faq/youth-adolesce...

What is peer pressure? Peer pressure is what happens when people from someone’s age group try to influence how they think or what they do. It affects everyone, but especially teens. During the teen years young people have to make many important decisions. Peer pressure can make these decisions harder for them.
