| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact sex-related dangerous events that cause harm have on the awareness of crime prevention of female college students from the perspective of optimism bias. Two types of optimism bias were set: optimism bias that compares the certainty of encountering harm with of others (frequency) and optimism bias that compares the severity of the result of encountering harm (degree). Both types of optimism bias were measured using a direct method and an indirect method. The results indicated that in cases where harm was encountered，when the optimism bias (degree) is high， the crime prevention awareness is low.
