This study examines the impact of peers' previous cautious versus risky choices on adolescents' risk-taking depending on the level of information about the risk. Adolescents completed an adaptation of the BART that manipulated social influence (cautious and risky) and risk information (i.e., informed, noninformed). Results showed that social influence impacts adolescents' decisions on the noninformed BART but not on the informed BART. In the noninformed BART, the peers' cautious choices strongly decreased risk-taking and led to greater performance. The peers' risky choices increase adolescents' risk-taking, but this effect is limited to situations involving minimal risk. Thus social experience may be a specific social context that represents a valuable source of information during adolescence, especially in situations with high uncertainty.
本研究考察了同伴先前谨慎与冒险选择对青少年风险行为的影响，取决于他们对风险的了解程度。青少年完成了 BART 的改编版，该版本操纵了社会影响（谨慎和冒险）和风险信息（即知情、不知情）。结果表明，社会影响会影响青少年在不知情 BART 上的决策，但不会影响知情 BART。在非知情 BART 中，同伴的谨慎选择强烈降低了风险行为，导致了更好的表现。同伴的冒险选择增加了青少年的风险行为，但这种效应仅限于涉及最小风险的情况。因此，社会经验可能是青少年时期一个有价值的信息来源，尤其是在高度不确定的情况下。
