I have anecdotal evidence in support of this claim. When I was a kid, my friend's grandmother went on a cruise near Norway. Some European kids were climbing on the railings, at risk of falling overboard. She said, "Ah ah ah" to get their attention, and then gave them "the look." They slunk back down to the deck and went to play elsewhere.
