Child pedestrian behaviors: Influence of peer social norms and correspondence between self-reports and crossing behaviors
2019, Journal of Safety ResearchCitation Excerpt :Factors related to the social–situational context also contribute to childhood injuries (Morrongiello et al., 2013). In particular, peer presence is associated with increased risk of pedestrian injury in childhood, although virtually nothing is known about the basis for this association (Gaskell et al., 1989; Wills et al., 1997). The current study addressed this issue and considered: children's appraisals of peers' behavioral norms for crossing and how these compare with their personal norms for doing so; how self-reported norms relate to self-reports about crossing behaviors; and how children's self-reports about crossing streets correspond to indices taken when crossing streets in a virtual traffic environment (Barton, 2006; Toroyan and Peden, 2007; World Health Organization, 2008).
Actual and perceived social norms of children's road crossing behavior
2012, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :Former studies suggested that this risky behavior is mainly due to reduced motor, perceptual and cognitive skills because of their age (Cross and Mahegan, 1988), personality traits such as impulsiveness (Barton and Schwebel, 2007), and social factors such as negative peer influence towards road crossing behavior (Ben-Moshe, 2003; Wills et al., 1997). With regard to the influence of peers on their road-crossing, Wills et al. (1997) found that when children cross in groups and without adult supervision, they are more prone to be involved in accidents compared to children who cross the road without their peers or to children who cross the road under adult supervision. Similarly, Gaskell et al. (1989) found that both girls and boys in all age groups are more prone to accidents while crossing with peers.
Child pedestrian safety: Parental supervision, modeling behaviors, and beliefs about child pedestrian competence
2009, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Indeed, many have argued that elementary-school children are at greatest risk of injury when with peers (Sandels, 1977; Wilson et al., 1991). Past research on pedestrian injury has shown that children behave more impulsively and unpredictably in the presence of peers, resulting in peer presence being a risk factor for injury (Wills et al., 1997a,b). Importantly, the pattern of the present findings suggests that parents recognized peer presence as a risk factor.

2001, Journal of Safety ResearchCitation Excerpt :It is because in most circumstances, especially in a residential setting, classification of adequate supervision seldom yields precision and reliability (Peterson, 1994). Unlike the study of traffic-related injuries, where supervision upon pedestrian accident could be inferred from eyewitness reports (Wills et al., 1997), classification of supervision in residential child injuries is often restrained by the lack of eyewitnesses at the household during an injury. In many circumstances, the caregiver would be the sole witness of the injury event.
