本研究调查了HIV感染的感知风险。研究了风险感知偏差的认知前因及其对行为意向的影响。本研究的目的是确定对艾滋病实际风险不同的样本进行风险评估的相对准确性。研究对象为阿姆斯特丹市民、有私人伴侣的异性恋者、男同性恋者和有卖淫伴侣的异性恋者。尽管在所有样本中都存在乐观偏见，但只有高风险样本的风险感知与以前的风险行为有关。在风险较高的样本中，悲观情绪更为明显。乐观主义者以前的危险行为水平较低，采取安全性行为的意愿更高。因此，在风险较高的样本中，Ss对风险的感知相对足够。
This study investigates the perceived risk of an HIV infection. Cognitive antecedents of biases in risk perception and their effects on behavioral intentions were investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative accuracy of risk assessments for samples that vary in actual risk for AIDS. Subjects were citizens of Amsterdam, heterosexuals with private partners, gay men, and heterosexuals with prostitution partners. Although optimistically biased in all samples, perceptions of risk were related to previous risk behavior in high-risk samples only. Pessimism was more pronounced in samples higher at risk. Optimists had lower levels of previous risk behavior and increased intentions to adopt safe sex practices. Ss in samples higher at risk had, therefore, relatively adequate perceptions of risk.
