Eighty-six adults completed questionnaires that measure explanatory style and perception of health problems. Subjects on the average saw themselves as below average in risk for a variety of health problems. Those subjects with an optimistic explanatory style, who explained bad events with external, unstable, and specific causes, in particular saw themselves as less at risk (r = .30, p < .01). They also believed that they were more able to prevent these health problems. Partialling out perceived preventability reduced to nonsignificance the correlation between explanatory style and perceived risk, which suggests that perceived preventability may mediate this link.
86名成年人完成了测量解释风格和对健康问题认知的问卷。受试者平均认为自己在各种健康问题上的风险低于平均水平。那些具有乐观解释风格的受试者，即用外部、不稳定和特定原因来解释不良事件的人，尤其认为自己面临的风险较小（r = 0.30，p < 0.01）。他们还认为自己更有能力预防这些健康问题。排除感知到的可预防性后，解释风格与感知风险之间的相关性不再显著，这表明感知到的可预防性可能在这一联系中起中介作用。
