The Gender Difference of Peer Influence in Higher Education

by Li Han, Tao Li

ARTICLE | Economics of Education Review | Vol. 28, 2009


Abstract


Investigations of the existence of residential peer effects in higher education has shown mixed results. Using data from a Chinese college, we find no evidence of robust residential peer effects. Using the same data we find evidence that females respond to peer influences, whereas males do not, consistent with social psychology theories that females are more influenced by peers.
