The veridicality of subjective estimates of relative risk
TL;DR: The authors examined the veridicality of subjective estimates of relative risk on two Choice Dilemma Questionnaire items and found that although on the average individuals view themselves as riskier than their peers, the Ss in the S group were significantly more cautious than they realized, and the risky shift may be accounted for through conformity or attitude changes related to a social comparison process rather than the mechanisms postulated by the social value hypothesis.
