| Abstract: | Levels of unrealistic optimism were compared for Canadians and Japanese. Across 2 studies, Canadians showed significantly more unrealistic optimism than Japanese, and Canadian' optimism bias was more strongly related to perceived threat. Study 2 revealed that Japanese were even less unrealistically optimistic for events that were particularly threatening to interdependent selves. |
