The current work aims to study both the peer group and family influence on adolescent behavior. In order to achieve the objective mentioned above, an explanatory model based on Structural Equations Modelling (SEM)was proposed.
The sample was the group of adolescents that participated in the Portuguese survey of the European study Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC).
The Portuguese survey included students from grades 6, 8, and 10 within the public education system, with an average of 14 years old (SD=1.89). The total sample of the HBSC study carried out in 2006 was 4,877; however, with the use of the SEM, 1,238 participants were lost out of the total sample.
