Indirect pressure is

• A. Peer pressure
• B. the pressure that results from being swayed to do something because someone you look up to is doing it
• C. Internal motivation
• D. Direct pressure

Answer: (B)

Indirect pressure is the subtle social influence that pushes you to act because someone you admire or look up to is doing the same thing. There’s no explicit command or threat, but you’re swayed by the example set by that person or by the norms you perceive from others’ behavior. That’s why the statement describing pressure that results from being swayed to do something because someone you look up to is doing it is the best fit. It differs from direct pressure, which is an explicit urge or coercion, and from internal motivation, which comes from your own reasons rather than the influence of others.
