Cool to be Smart or Smart to be Cool? Understanding Peer Pressure in Education
研究学校中两种同伴文化（贬低努力或奖励能力）如何通过观察参与和表现来减少教育活动的参与，并通过实地实验发现同伴压力在不同学校中通过隐藏努力或隐藏低能力两种不同机制起作用。
Abstract We model and test two school-based peer cultures: one that stigmatizes effort and one that rewards ability. The model shows that either may reduce participation in educational activities when peers can observe participation and performance. We design a field experiment that allows us to test for, and differentiate between, these two concerns. We find that peer pressure reduces takeup of an SAT prep package virtually identically across two very different high school settings. However, the effects arise from very distinct mechanisms: a desire to hide effort in one setting and a desire to hide low ability in the other.
