Low wing, high wing, feeling safe because you are enclosed, yes. Took me 5 years of flying my Supercub before I got up the nerve to fly with the doors open, and make steep right turns....oh yes! When there is only air between you and the ground, you know, you know! no illusion of safety whatsoever!
Same goes for an open cockpit glider vs one with a canopy. I remember hearing a young lady screaming, not for joy, as she experienced a loop in a T21....
