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.

同伴的选择会影响青少年的冒险行为，尤其是在缺乏明确的风险信息时

本研究根据有关风险的信息水平，检验了同龄人之前的谨慎与冒险选择对青少年冒险行为的影响。青少年完成了对操纵社会影响（谨慎和冒险）和风险信息（即，知情、不知情）的 BART 的改编。结果表明，社会影响会影响青少年对非知情 BART 的决定，但不会影响知情 BART。在不知情的 BART 中，同行的谨慎选择大大降低了风险承担并导致了更好的表现。同龄人的冒险选择增加了青少年的冒险行为，但这种影响仅限于风险最小的情况。因此，社会经验可能是一种特定的社会背景，代表了青春期有价值的信息来源，尤其是在高度不确定的情况下。
