The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between circadian preference and sensation seeking. To this aim 1041 university students (408 males and 633 females), ranging in age between 18 and 30 years, filled the reduced version of the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQr) and the Sensation Seeking Scale-Form V (SSS-V). Males scored higher than females in SSS-V total score and all subscales, except experience seeking (ES). As regards circadian preference, evening types scored higher than morning types in SSS-V total score and all subscales, except boredom susceptibility (BS) where they significantly differed only from intermediate types. On the whole our results highlight a significant relationship between circadian preference and sensation seeking.
本研究旨在探讨昼夜倾向与感觉寻求之间的关系。为此,1041 名大学生(408 名男性和 633 名女性),年龄在 18 至 30 岁之间,填写了简化版的 Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire(MEQr)和 Sensation Seeking Scale-Form V(SSS-V)。男性在 SSS-V 总分和所有分量表上的得分均高于女性,除了经验寻求(ES)。就昼夜倾向而言,晚型得分高于早型,除了无聊易感性(BS),他们仅与中间型显著不同。总的来说,我们的结果突出了昼夜倾向和感觉寻求之间的显著关系。
