Abstract/Summary
This research paper studies self-esteem, identity, dominance, family and peer influence and how all these may be found in different levels among non-members, pledges and members of fraternities. It was hypothesized that members and pledges would have lower self-esteem and identity compared to non-members, and higher social dominance. In addition, to this, members and pledges were hypothesized to have higher levels of influence from peer and family members than non-members. All differences were hypothesized to be significant as well. One-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis were the tests used measure significance. After the study, it was found that there were differences in self-esteem, identity, family and peer influence among members, non-members and pledges. Data analysis supports that while self-esteem was lower among members and pledges, identity turned out to be higher. For dominance, the differences were insignificant among groups. As for family influence, the differences in the number of family members who part of fraternities were significant. Lastly, for peer influence, the differences in the number of peers who are part of fraternities were significant, but the differences in the number of hours spent with peers were insignificant.
