abstract="OBJECTIVE : This study examined whether exposure to a safety norm could counteract the increase in risk taking children show when in an elevated positive mood state. <br><br>OBJECTIVE :   Risk taking (intentions, behaviors) was measured in a neutral and positive (induced experimentally) mood state. Before completing the tasks in a positive mood, 120 children 7-10 years were exposed to either a safety norm or a control audio.  The control audio had no effect: children showed an  OBJECTIVE : increase in risk taking and intentions when in a positive mood compared with a neutral mood, replicating past research. In contrast, exposure to the safety norm counteracted this effect: children showed a decrease in risk taking and intentions when in a positive mood compared with a neutral mood.  OBJECTIVE :  Manipulating children's exposure to social norms can be an effective strategy for reducing injury-risk behaviors even when they are in an elevated positive mood state.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
