본 연구는 서울시 고등학생을 대상으로 에이즈에 대한 낙관적 편견을 인구 사회적 특성에 따라 파악하고, 에이즈 지식, 에이즈에 대한 낙인 및 사회적 거리감 등의 변수, 관연도와 낙관적 편견과의 관련성을 확인함으로써 에이즈 예방교육 및 메시지 개발에 도움을 주고자 한다. 본 연구에서 조사 대상 모집단은 서울시 소재 고등학생이 대상이다. 표집은 인문계 고등학교 6개교와 실업계 고등학교 2개교를 지역별로 무작위로 추출한 후 각 학년별로 2개 반을 무작위로 뽑아 그 반을 모두 조사하는 방법을 이용하였다. 총 1537부의 설문지가 배포되어 모두 수거되었으며. 이 중 응답이 불성실한 설문지 21부를 제외한 총 1,516부(98.1%)가 분석에 사용되었다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 에이즈 감염에 대한 낙관적 편견이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 낙관적 편견에 대한 인구 사회적 특성을 살펴보면 여학생이 남학생 보다(p<.05), 성적이 상, 중인 학생이 하인 학생보다(p<.05) 유의하였다. 셋째, 낙관적 편견과 에이즈 지식 간에는 유의하지 않았다. 낙관적 편견과 관여도는 부의 상관관계를 보여 관여도가 클수록 낙관적 편견이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 자기존중감과 자기통제감이 클수록 낙관적 편견이 큰 것으로 나타났다((r=.17, p<.01, r=.25, p<.01). 넷째, 에이즈에 관한 낙관적 편견에 미치는 영향력을 검토한 결과 성별, 성적은 낙관적 편견에 유의하지 않았으나 관여도, 자기존중감 및 자기통제감은 유의하였다($R^2$=.112, F=31.655) 결론적으로 관여도, 자기존중감, 자기통제감은 에이즈에 대한 낙관적 편견에 영향을 미치는 요인임이 확인 되었다. 이러한 결과는 청소년들을 대상으로 하는 에이즈 예방교육을 계획할 때에 단순히 정보나 지식을 전달하는 것뿐만 아니라 그들이 갖고 있는 신념과 행동을 변화시키는 여러 요인들에 대하여도 충분히 검토해 볼 필요성이 있음을 시사한다.

With respect to the factors affecting information security awareness and behavior, the study of the relevance of the concept of optimistic bias is actively used in psychology. In other words, this study examines whether the optimistic bias of individuals affects information security in the field. In this sense, this study attempted to demonstrate the relevance of optimistic bias in information security behavior and awareness. A questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 111 people engaged in domestic private enterprises. The survey results showed that this personalized optimistic bias exists because of empirical factors related to personal security. Optimistic bias affects the security awareness information. The greater the optimistic bias, the lower the awareness and recognition of information security. In other words, optimistic bias affects information security awareness. Reducing the effects of optimistic bias is expected to reduce information security incidents, such as information leakages. However, the variety of information related ethical activities of a company did not have any effect on the information security awareness. Most previous studies have only examined the effect optimistic bias in the field of health. Therefore, this study fills an important gap in research in IT.

In addition to optimistic bias which can be a biased phenomenon in perceived susceptibility, including illusion of control which is a distorted phenomenon, the current study attempted to demonstrate the influential relationship between these two important variables and COVID 19 personal preventive behaviors and social distancing practice. Conducting Survey utilizing online pannel from Macromill Embrain, the present study performed regression analysis, setting personal preventive behavioral variables such as mask wearing, hand washing, using hand sanitizer as independent variable, and analyzed how these independent variables influence control illusion and optimistic bias. As a result, COVID 19 personal preventive behavior didn't have direct effect on optimistic bias and control illusion except for hand washing. Finding, also, showed that control illusion affected optimistic bias, and the relation between these variables was different depending on demographic variable such as gender and age.

This study empirically verified whether there is a dual mediating effect of individual optimistic bias and information security intention in the relationship between information security attitude and information security behavior of social welfare college students. The subjects were 295 college students majoring in social welfare. Spss Process macro was used for analysis. As a result. first there was a significant positive correlation between the variables. Second in the relationship between information security attitude and information security behavior, individual optimistic bias and information security intent each had a simple mediating effect. Third when an individual's optimistic bias and information security intent were simultaneously input, each had a simple mediating effect. Fourth there was a double mediating effect between individual optimistic bias and information security intent. This study provided basic data for the expansion of information security model and information security education of social welfare students.

This study investigated the correlations of the AIDS knowledge, self-esteem, sense of control, optimistic bias toward AIDS, and condom use in the Chinese male college students. A cross-sectional survey was used, and 307 male students were recruited from anonymous universities in cities of two provinces in China. The data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Pearson's correlations. The Chinese male college students had an optimistic bias toward AIDS. The score of AIDS knowledge was 73%, and the self-esteem and sense of control scores were all rated higher than the median. The difference among groups according to grade and age were statistically significant in this study. The self-esteem, sense of control, and optimistic bias toward AIDS showed significant positive correlations, but AIDS knowledge, optimistic bias, and condom use have no correlations. The studies that examine psychological variables with condom use among various groups should be followed in the Chinese context.

This research is a descriptive study that aimed to identify the health knowledge and optimistic bias related to stroke of middle-aged adults and the effect these had on their health-promoting lifestyle. The research was conducted from July 15 to August 15, 2015. The research subjects were 191 adults aged between 40 to 60 years. A structured questionnaire was used and self-administered for data collection. The PASW Statistics 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs were used for data analysis, and analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling analysis were conducted. It was found that the middle-aged adults recognized smoking and hypertension as higher risk factors for stroke than diabetes, and there was a slight optimistic bias for stroke. Health knowledge about stroke had correlations with optimistic bias (r = -.143, p = .048) and health-promoting lifestyle (r = .268, p = < .001), while optimistic bias had correlations with interpersonal relationships and stress (r = .177, p = .014) in health-promoting lifestyle. In addition, health-promoting lifestyle affected health knowledge more than optimistic bias. In conclusion, it was found that the active information acquisition, health knowledge, and optimistic bias of middle-aged adults toward stroke were important factors pertaining to a stroke-related health-promoting lifestyle. Therefore, an education program to improve the health-promoting lifestyle related to stroke in middle-aged adults should be considered as a way to enhance stroke-related health knowledge and reduce optimistic bias.

In this study, we examined the influence of news frame and involvement on risk perception. Based on individuals' optimistic bias in risk judgement and the third-person effect theory, we developed research hypotheses. An experiment was conducted in which 243 undergraduate and graduate students participated. Results indicated that societal level risk judgements were relatively invariant across experimental conditions but personal level risk judgements were influenced by the news frame and individuals' involvement in irradiated food. Based on the results, we provide explanations concerning when and how optimistic bias takes place in each experimental condition.

This research is a descriptive study that aimed to identify the health knowledge related stroke, optimistic bias, and social support of middle-aged adults and the effect these had on their health-promoting lifestyle This study was conducted by collecting 220 adults aged between 40 to 60 years from C City D city and K city. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, ANOVA, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression with the SPSS 23.0 program. The average health-promoting lifestyle was 44.27 points. The health-promoting lifestyle of the study participants showed a positive correlation between the optimistic bias(r=.18, p=.001) and social support(r= .61, p<.000). According to the results of multiple regression analysis, perception of Necessity for Stroke Education(β=.12, p=.010), optimistic bias(β=.18, p=.040), and social support(β=.48, p<.000) were shown to be significant factors that affected the health-promoting lifestyle of the participants. These variables explained 38.5%. Therefore, an health education program to improve the health-promoting lifestyle related to stroke in adults should be considered as a way to enhance social support and reduce optimistic bias.
