He sees how shrill she becomes around her friends; she sees how susceptible he is to peer pressure.
Hi, pretty generic really, I just can't bring to mind the Italian equivalent for "peer pressure" other than something like "conformità al gruppo", which seems unecessarily wordy and not quite on target, or perhaps "pressione di gruppo", but is this equivalent?.
Thanks
PS This is from a philosophy text that I am, in a labour of love, attempting to translate into Italian (!). I have written a post about it on the Italian Proz boards.

Comment: "Thanks for the highly stimulating input here, as always. I think "pressioni sociali" is the "classic" expression (and Google seems to agree)."

pressione del gruppo
Sarebbe la pressione che esercita su di lei il gruppo in cui si trova: può essere resa anche come "pressione sociale", ma in questo caso il fenomeno è su scala ridotta, trattandosi solo delle persone che la circondano direttamente (amiche, colleghe, compagne...).
Note from asker:
| Thank you so much Adriano. I think "pressione del gruppo" is more suitable for the expression "group pressure" in English. Here I needed I fairly idiomatic general term. But your assistance was most appreciated. |

| Hi Zerlina and thanks for your assistance. This seems to me to explain the idea clearly, but it lacks the idiomatic "immediacy" I need for my text, if that makes any sense! Thanks again. |

pressione di un gruppo di pari

Note from asker:
| Thanks indeed Ricetti for your valuable input. Your translation is extremely accurate in my view. Here, however, I needed something more instantly recognisable in the area of idiom so I went for the classic phrase, although that is slightly less precise. |
Something went wrong...
