Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents whose parents value achievement tend to choose friends who share that value. This is because shared values make it easier for them to relate to and connect with each other. Choosing friends who are low-achievers (A) or popular because of sports or musical abilities (B) is not necessarily linked to parental values on achievement. The idea that these adolescents would be rejected by their peers (D) is not supported by research.
