    Priscilla will most likely join her friends in the antisocial behavior

    Explanation:

    Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that because her friends are shoplifting Priscilla will most likely join her friends in the antisocial behavior. Research studies show that individuals want to be accepted and this acceptance comes with the cost of conformity. Which is where peer pressure comes in, in which the individual will follow and mimic the behaviors of those surrounding them in order to be accepted. Meaning that if those behaviors are negative (such as shoplifting) then the individual in question will begin to exhibit those negative behaviors as well.
