  ABSTRACT: Peer groups play an irreplaceable role in the process of young people’s socialization. With the help of Peer groups, ideological and political education can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Peer groups have significant characteristics in the formation mechanism, internal relations, cultural characteristics and core strength, which determines the function of satisfying the individual’s inner sense of belonging and identity, influencing the values and behaviors of group members by inducing conformity behavior, and carrying out ideological education by example in a subtle way. Ideological and political educators in colleges should treat peer groups rationally, pay attention to training informal leaders, check peer group culture, and promote horizontal communication among peer groups, so as to make peer groups into a sharp tool for ideological and political education.
