Introduction
According to Kassin et al. (2005), acceptability as defined from the social perception
characterizes the ways in which people interact with each other in events like sports to
understand each other as implicit and explicit cues that define behavior. The attitude
acceptability theory coined by Chadee also explains the social identity theory by explaining how
more accessible attitudes influence how humans act or behave in certain ways. Bovard et al.
(2014) uses the social identity theory to the degree to which collegiate student-athletes and a
control group of non-athletes can demonstrate bias in the in-group and out-group contexts. The
research also examines whether ingroup favoritism among experimental groups could be
reversed to create a black sheep effect. On their part, Rees & Wallace (2015) used the National
Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to portray that being non-drinking
adolescent does not unilaterally put youth at the risk of alcohol consumption whenever they are
faced with a friendship network while interacting with friends with the problem of alcohol drug
use. The current research uses the social perception theory to present a summary of
environmental interaction can influence behavior by summarizing the articles on social
influence.

Rees & Wallace (2015) portrayed that adolescent peer groups that have not adopted

Longitudinal study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), a globally representative sample of
adolescents to show that those who do not engage in drinking do not unilaterally put their peers
at risk for drinking onset whenever they are placed in an environmental network that comprises
