Abstract

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the relationship between optimistic bias about health crisis and health behavior of Korean adults in a crisis of health, and to prepare baseline data for developing a health education and promotion program.
Methods: Study subjects were 595 adults aged from 19 to 64 who live in Korea. Data were collected through
questionnaires administered by one interviewer. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were calculated
using the SPSS program.
Results: The average score for optimistic bias about health crisis was 2.69, and that for health behavior was 107.05. The optimistic bias about health crisis showed a significantly positive correlation with health behavior (r=.187, p=.000).
Conclusion: To make our results more useful, it is necessary to identity the causal relationship between
health attitudes as an explanatory variable and optimistic bias as an outcome variable. In addition, a relatively low score in
optimistic bias from this research compared to other studies must be explained through further studies considering unique
Korean cultural background. Moreover, research of the relationship between optimistic bias about health crisis and
health behavior looking at people who don’t have good health behaviors is needed.
