The act of someone doing a thing or dressing a certain way (not directly told to) because the popular kids are wearing it and that person wants to be popular
Sam is a victim of Non-Verbal Peer Pressure because tried to wear dresses. She told me "all the cool kids are wearing it and I want to be popular"

Feeling obligated to do something because everyone else is doing it, unlike normal peer pressure this all occurs in the head and is a very difficult thing to deal with.

People on your own level giving encouragement to do something immoral, with the threat of being ostracized if one fails to comply.

When a group of people persuades an individual to do something very immoral like painting his pants with an extremely odd pattern, run into a crowd of black people and jews and scream "SIEG HEIL" and so on.
The group often laughs at the individual when he or she does these immoral things. Group pressure can be an awesome way of killing time.

Mike and Dan convinced Daniel that its awesome to put 10 different hairgels of very poor quality in the hair. Daniel did this and Mike and Dan hade a good laugh!
Excellent example of pure Group pressure, peer.

You dont get sick from peer pressure, you get sick from pathogens. You dont go to the doctor because of peer pressure, you go because you are sick. Wearing a mask is no different. You dont decide whether to wear a mask because of peer pressure, you decide to wear a mask or not wear one based on whether you're sick.
Peer pressure doesn't change whether someone is sick or not, therefore it should never influence what someone wears on their face or head.

Trying to get somebody to do something based on what everyone else is doing, thinks is safe, or thinks someone should do.
Most people wear masks, and some think that peer pressure, or even something worse than peer pressure (like deaths) is going to change the way somebody else does things, especially if peer pressure convinced them to put on a mask.
