Can adolescents predict significant life events?

Wändi Bruine de Bruin1, Andrew M Parker, Baruch Fischhoff.   

Abstract

We examine whether adolescents' probability judgments for significant life events are predictive and accurate. We find significant correlations with actual experiences, reported on successive waves of a national survey. Mean probability judgments approximated observed outcome rates, or were optimistic, except that adolescents greatly overestimated their probability of dying prematurely.
