在两个独立的大学样本中，研究了个人饮酒习惯对感知风险和饮酒行为估计流行率的影响。在这两个人群中，自我报告的饮酒行为与酗酒和酒后驾车的风险呈负相关，但与这些行为的流行率估计不一致。戒酒者也高估了酗酒和酒后驾车的普遍性，远远超过那些同样没有参与这些行为的饮酒者。这些发现被解释为与信息处理中的自利动机偏见相一致。与男性相比，两个人群中的女性提供了更高的患病率和风险估计。
In two separate university samples, the effects of individual drinking habits on perceived riskiness and estimated prevalence of drinking practices were studied. In both populations, self-reported drinking behavior was inversely related to perceived riskiness of heavy drinking and drunk driving, but inconsistently related to prevalence estimates for these behaviors. Abstainers also overestimated the commonness of heavy drinking and drunk driving much more than did drinkers who similarly did not engage in these behaviors. These findings are interpreted as consistent with self-serving motivational biases in information processing. Relative to men, women in both populations provided higher estimates of prevalence and riskiness.
