Objective: The results of numerous empirical studies have showed the occurrence
of so-called unrealistic optimism. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether in the
situation of an imminent coronavirus pandemic, people would still perceive
themselves as being less exposed to the disease than others. Methods: Survey
studies were conducted to examine the level of unrealistic optimism. Participants
(n = 171, 67.3% of women) in a subjective way judged the risk of their
coronavirus infection and the likelihood that this would happen to an average
student of the same sex from their class. The survey was conducted in three
waves: prior to the announcement of the first case of coronavirus (2-3 March),
immediately after that announcement (5-6 March), and a few days later (9-10
March). Results: We showed that women estimated the chances of being infected as
significantly higher (M = 4.52, SD = 2.079; t = 2.387; p = 0.018; Cohen's d =
0.393) than men (M = 3.71, SD = 2.042). The phenomenon of unrealistic optimism
was observed especially in men (as compared to other male participants) as it
appeared in all three measures (M (you) = 3.95 vs. M (other male student) = 4.63;
M = 3.71 vs. M = 4.68, and M = 4.46 vs. M = 5.38 in phase one, two, and three,
respectively; p 0.006 for all comparison), but also in women in the last two
measures (M(you) = 4.55 vs. M (other female student) = 4.95, and M = 4.99 vs. M =
5.38 in phase 2 and 3, respectively; p 0.012 for both comparisons). Conclusions:
The study revealed a fairly general occurrence of unrealistic optimism, which was
mainly observed in men as it appeared in all three measures, but also in women in
the last two measures. This result is important for health experts who are
responsible for making people comply with regulations concerning social
distancing, putting masks on to stop infection, and staying at home. It is
possible that unrealistically optimistic people will behave much less in line
with the aforementioned recommendations, causing coronavirus to spread widely.
