Can Adolescents Predict Significant Life Events? Journal of Adolescent Health 41,2 (August 2007): 208–210. Also: http://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X%2807%2900181-4/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Probability judgments (also see Risk Perception); Risk Perception We examine whether adolescents' probability judgments for significant life events are predictive and accurate. We find significant correlations with actual experiences, reported on successive waves of a national survey. Mean probability judgments approximated observed outcome rates, or were optimistic, except that adolescents greatly overestimated their probability of dying prematurely. © 2007 Society for Adolescent Medicine.
