This study was conducted to examine instances of conformity behavior, anxiety, public self-consciousness, and approval motivation in adolescent friendships. First, a conformity behavior scale was constructed based on 6 ifferent scales that measure conformity motivation, conformity tendency, conformity orientation and conformity behavior. The subjects comprised 83 male and 72 female university students. They were exposed to item analysis and factor analysis exercises, and a twenty-four-items conformity behavior scale was developed. Second, the hypothesis that adolescents with high anxiety, high public consciousness and high approval motivation have a tendency to conform to others was tested. A total of 57 items were tested on 123 male and 171 female high school students. The results showed that both the internal conformity factor and the external conformity factor are related to anxiety and approval motivation. Therefore, a part of the hypothesis that says that high school students tend to conform to others because of their anxiety and motivation to secure the approval of others was verified in this study. Some studies, however, showed that conforming behavior causes stress in adolescents. In our conclusion, with the view to releasing adolescents from such stress, we suggested that they practice self-assertive behavior.
