Investigating <i>perceived</i> risk is important for at least two reasons. First, perceived risk of relapse is associated with actual risk; individuals are insightful about their own recovery (Walton et al., 2000). Second, right or wrong, perceptions can influence behavior among individuals in recovery and those who want to provide support (del V. Vera et al., 2022; Johnson et al., 2013).</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>We measured relapse risk perception via 16 vignettes depicting emotionally significant events (4 positive-social, 4 negative-social, 4 positive-nonsocial, and 4 negative-nonsocial).
