Given what we know about the influence of peers on adolescents, an adolescent's desire to spend a great deal of time with a clique is probably:
a.positive, because cliques have good effects on self-esteem.
b.negative, because cliques tend to exaggerate individuals' bad characteristics.
c.neither positive nor negative, because the key influence is other aspects of an adolescent's life before he or she joins a clique.
d. either positive or negative, depending on what behavior the clique promotes.
