Abstract
An experiment was conducted in a field setting to study the effects of infant cues on inhibiting antisocial behavior-driving through a crosswalk while a pedestrian is waiting to cross the street. A female experimenter either stood alone, with a shopping cart, or with an infant stroller. As predicted, motorists stopped more frequently in the presence of the stroller than in the other two conditions.Keywords
