520 |a The influence of peers on religious behavior was studied by means of a field experiment. The subjects were seventh grade children. Frequency of daily Mass attendance was used as an unobtrusive behavioral measure of peer influence. Two experimental groups, in which peer confederates behaved in a compliant or non-compliant way, were compared with the behavior of a control group. Results show that boy leaders, chosen by their own classmates, had a significant effect on the behavior of girl students in the expected directions, but no significant effect on the behavior of other male classmates. Possible reasons for the differential effects on boys and girls are suggested.
