“…This finding supports previous studies (Delhomme, 2000;Finn & Bragg, 1986;Matthews & Moran, 1986), although comparative optimism about the risks incurred by a specific behavior has not always been found (Causse et al, 2005a;Meyer & Delhomme, 2000).…”

“…However, in regards to specific risks, CO is not always exhibited (Armor & Taylor, 1998;Causse, Delhomme, & Kouabenan, 2005a;Meyer & Delhomme, 2000). Most people express similarity judgments (SJ: they see their own risks as similar to those of others) or comparative pessimism (CP: they see their risks as higher than those of others).…”

“…High-risk sportsmen expressed comparative pessimism when comparing their VSI to that of the nonspecific referent. These results support Hypothesis 2 and go hand in hand with previous studies conducted in the field of road traffic (e.g.. Causse et al, 2005), illness (McKenna, Warbuton, & V/inwood, 1993;van der Pligt, 1998), or high-risk sports (Martha et al, 2009), which showed that adults' risky behaviors were not systematically related to comparative optimism. It is important to note that this result contradicts the findings of Moen and Rundmo (2005) that showed skydivers expressed comparative optimism regarding their VSI.…”

“…In a culture of risk (Donnelly, 2004), even participants in risk sports actively engage with the question of how to participate (e.g., what kinds of skydives to do and in what conditions). Contrary to the belief that comparative optimism would be linked to risky behaviors (e.g., Klein, 1997;McKenna etal., 1991), other studies from health (McKenna et al, 1993;Radcliffe & Klein, 2002;van der Pligt, 1998), driving (Causse et al, 2005), or sport psychology (Martha et al, 2009) literature has shown that comparative optimism is not systematically associated with detrimental behavior and thus may reflect relative accuracy in risk perception. Our results also lend support to a relative realism amongst high-risk sports practitioners, since participants whose behavior puts them at risk are aware of this.…”

This poper examined how risk sports practitioners, compared with those of the average sports participant, perceive their abilities to manage risks (AMR) and their vulnerability to a serious injury (VSI) whilst participating. We also examined which variables influence perceived comparative VSI. High-risk and moderate-risk sports participonts (n = 432) completed measures of perceived personal AMR, perceived comparative AMR and VSI, and motive of playing to the limit. Results showed that high-risk sports practitioners perceived their VSI as being higher than the average sports participant, while moderate-risk practitioners perceived their VSI as being lower. Perceived comparative VSI was negatively related to perceived personol AMR and positively related to past injury episode, sporting experience, and playing to the limit. In conclusion, perceived comparative risks were similarly realistic amongst high-risk sports practitioners. Future research is needed to further examine the role that perceived comparative risks play in the risk-taking decision-making process.

“…Individuals' risk judgements can be investigated from both an absolute and comparative perspective (see Causse, Delhomme, et Kouabenan, 2005, andRanby et al, 2010, for a review). The former allows measuring how an individual judges his or her own risk without comparison to a reference group.…”

International audienceA few studies have shown that road users can express realistic risk judgements, in the sense that they perceive higher risk when their behavior is in fact riskier. Our aim was to examine whether the realism of absolute and comparative judgements about speeding risks could be found among an at-risk driver population made of 539 French traffic regulation offenders taking a driving licence points recovery course.The results showed that course takers’ absolute judgements regarding speeding-ticket risk were realistic: the more course-takers had the intention to drive fast and reported driving-related sensation-seeking (DRSS), the more they evaluated themselves as being at risk of having a speeding-ticket. The realism was also observed when considering comparative judgements regarding speeding-ticket risk, but only among the more than 25 years old participants. Moreover, the realism was not observed when considering course takers’ absolute and comparative judgements regarding speeding-induced crash risk. Hence, it is important to increase communication about the dangerousness of speeding among specific groups such as traffic regulation offenders, above all among young course takers who reported high speeds and DRSS
