Given the multitude of negative outcomes associated with substance abuse and other risk-taking behaviors, the current study sought to investigate sensation seeking, anxiety sensitivity, and self-reinforcement as they relate to participation in high-risk behaviors with 155 undergraduate students. The measures were the Reckless Behavior Questionnaire, Sensation Seeking Scale, Anxiety Sensitivity Index, Heiby Self-Reinforcement Questionnaire, and a sample of items from the treatment factor of the Substance Abuse Attitude Survey. Significant multivariate effects were attributable to sensation seeking and anxiety sensitivity. Sensation seeking and anxiety sensitivity were significant predictors of substance abuse. The model significantly predicted risky sexual behavior with a positive relationship between sensation seeking and risky sexual behavior. High anxiety-sensitivity scores were associated with a greater reported incidence of high-risk sexual practices. Participants highest in sensation seeking were most likely to engage in reckless driving, with male incidence being greater than for females. An unexpected finding was that anxiety sensitivity negatively correlated with substance abuse.
鉴于物质滥用和其他冒险行为会带来众多负面后果,本研究旨在调查155名本科生的感觉寻求、焦虑敏感性和自我强化与参与高风险行为之间的关系。测量工具包括鲁莽行为问卷、感觉寻求量表、焦虑敏感性指数、海比自我强化问卷以及物质滥用态度调查治疗因子中的部分项目样本。显著的多变量效应归因于感觉寻求和焦虑敏感性。感觉寻求和焦虑敏感性是物质滥用的显著预测因素。该模型显著预测了危险的性行为,感觉寻求与危险的性行为之间呈正相关。高焦虑敏感性得分与报告的高风险性行为发生率较高相关。感觉寻求程度最高的参与者最有可能鲁莽驾驶,男性发生率高于女性。一个意外发现是焦虑敏感性与物质滥用呈负相关。
