Аннотация: This study examined interconnections between personality characteristics, cognitive representations of health risks and self-evaluations of riskiness in scuba divers. We hypothesized health risk perception is a process mediated by interrelations between personality characteristics and cognitive representations of risks and that there are individual differences in those interrelations in subjects with different levels of expertise in scuba diving. The sample included three groups of male scuba divers with various levels of proficiency, including novice, experienced divers, scuba diving instructors and a group of male non-diving individuals. Personality questionnaires and psychometric approach were used. The results suggest that similar risk perceptions are moderated by different interrelations between personality characteristics and cognitive representations of risks. For example, optimistic bias regarding the probability of diving accidents shown by novice divers appeared t o be related to their cognitive representations of risks and diving experience. However, the level of comparative pessimism, which was revealed in experienced divers, was better predicted by the number of known diving risks, confidence in personal guesses about dive accident probabilities and tolerance for uncertainty. Scuba diving instructors’ pessimism bias was related to readiness for risk and riskiness self-evaluation
