经历过1989年加州地震的大学生在几天后被要求估计他们，学校的典型学生，以及他们这个年龄的普通人有一天会经历几个负面生活事件中的每一个的可能性，包括在地震等自然灾害中受伤。 这些反应进行了比较，与准实验控制组的学生3个月后。 受试者对自己和他人脆弱性的感知差异表明，他们对在自然灾害中受伤的不切实际的乐观情绪在地震发生后并不明显。 然而，3个月后发现对该项目不切实际的乐观。 进一步的分析表明，地震后乐观情绪的丧失仅限于自然灾害，并没有改变人们对其他负面事件的脆弱性。
University students who experienced the 1989 California earthquake were asked a few days afterward to estimate the likelihood that they, the typical student at the school, and the average person their age would someday experience each of several negative life events, including being hurt in a natural disaster such as an earthquake. These responses were compared with those of a quasi-experimental control group of students 3 months later. Unrealistic optimism about being hurt in a natural disaster, as indicated by the difference between the subjects' perceived vulnerability for themselves and for others, was not apparent immediately after the earthquake. However, unrealistic optimism for this item was found 3 months later. Further analysis suggests that the loss of optimism after the earthquake was limited to natural disasters and did not alter perceived vulnerability to other negative events.
