Note: In model (1) and (3), participants at average or high objective comparative risk and who were not grouped with UO were used as reference to participants with an average or high objective comparative risk but who were grouped with UO. In model (2) and (4), participants at low or average objective comparative risk and who were not grouped with UP were used as reference to participants with a low or average objective comparative risk but who were grouped with UP.
Abbreviations: UO, unrealistic comparative optimism; UP, unrealistic comparative pessimism.
