The Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being: Psychometric properties, demographic comparisons, and evidence of validity (2010, neutral): “(ASSS; Arnett, 1994) (Samples 1 and 2) was used to assess sensation seeking, a personality disposition that has been associated with increased propensity toward risk taking (Zuckerman, 1994, 2007).”
Identity Development, Personality, and Well‐Being in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood (2012, background): “Likewise, characteristics such as sensation seeking (preference for new and exciting stimuli; Zuckerman, 2007) and perceived invulnerability (Lapsley, 1993) may also serve to promote identity exploration.”
Recreational angler satisfaction: What drives it? (2021, background): “Under the right circumstances (i.e. large enough fish, large waves, fast current, dangerous/challenging environment), catching a fish may also provide a sensation- seeking experience (Zuckerman, 2007), where anglers forego the risk in search of the reward (i.e. catch).”
The Dark Side of Personality: Science and Practice in Social, Personality, and Clinical Psychology (2016, positive): “…risk taking, small positive effects were found for sensation seekingrelated traits (rs = .15 to .19; Hoyle, Fejfar, & Miller, 2000) and these relations appear to hold across a wide array of samples (e.g., high school students, community participants, gay and straight participants; Zuckerman, 2007).”
CEO Personal Risk-Taking and Corporate Policies (2016, neutral): “Sensation seeking is a genetic personality trait that is correlated with a propensity toward risk-taking behavior in an extraordinarily wide range of different settings, such as driving, sexual activity, sports, and vocation, among others (Zuckerman (2007)).”
You can’t always get what you want: The motivational effect of need on risk-sensitive decision-making. (2010, background): “Several stable personality traits have been associated with real-world risky behavior, including sensation-seeking, impulsivity, and self-control (e.g., Zuckerman, 2007; Zuckerman & Kuhlman, 2001), but it is unclear whether these traits moderate the effect of need on risk-sensitive decision-making.”
Conceptualizing adventurous nature sport: A positive psychology perspective (2018, background): “Although fear, risk and associated sensation-seeking have long been conceptualized as integral to ANS experiences (e.g. Kopp et al. 2016; Zuckerman 2007), the importance of these elements in ANS motivations and outcomes remains contested.”
