In
another
experiment
involving
students,
respondents
were
asked
about
likely
future
outcomes
for
themselves
and
their
roommates.
They
typically
had
very
rosy
views
about
their
own
futures,
which
they
imagined
to
include
successful
careers,
happy
marriages,
and
good
health.
When
asked
to
speculate
about
their
roommates'
futures,
however,
their
responses
were
far
more
realistic.
The
roommates
were
believed
to
be
far
more
likely
to
become
alcoholics,
suffer
illnesses,
get
divorced,
and
experience
a
variety
of
other
unfavorable
outcomes.
The replay is still saving.
