Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Do white men fear various risks less than women and racial minorities? This study tested the white male effect in health risk perception. Using data from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States, this study tried to explain gender and race difference in perceived risk of heart attack. Focusing on psychological (neuroticism) and behavioral (smoking pattern and exercise engagement) attributes, I examined the following hypotheses: (1) women and minorities have higher neuroticism and poorer health behaviros, (2) these attributes predict the higher perceived heart risk. The multivariate regression analysis revealed that the white male effect was only partially true in health risk perception. The psycholgical and behavioral risk factors could explain a great deal about why women had the higher pervceived heart risk than men. However, it failed to explain why racial minorities showed the lower perceived heart risk than whites.
