The Brief Sensation Seeking Scale – BSSS measures sensation seeking in teenagers based on Zuckerman’s theory, covering the need for a brief instrument that might be useful for research contexts and capable of correcting some defects in the SSS-V. The aim of this study was to adapt the BSSS for research purposes with students schoolchildren in Lima and determine its psychometric properties.
1,033 high school students from four public schools in Lima completed the final version of the BSSS. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test scale structure and gender invariance and criterion validity were assessed.
CFA evidenced a good fit of the unidimensional model (S-Bχ2= 56.74, df = 18, p <0.001; TLI = .972, CFI = .982, SRMR = .026; RMSEA = .046). Moreover, the multi-group invariance analysis found metric invariance between boys and girls, but no scalar invariance. In addition, a composite reliability coefficient of .82 was obtained. Finally, the BSSS scores demonstrate differences in the use of alcohol, tobacco and marijuana, as well as the curiosity and intention to try marijuana.
Psychometric results obtained from the BSSS are promising; making it a suitable instrument for measuring sensation seeking in adolescents from Lima.
简式感觉寻求量表（BSSS）基于祖克曼的理论测量青少年的感觉寻求，旨在满足研究环境中对简短工具的需求，并能够纠正SSS-V中的一些缺陷。本研究的目的是将BSSS改编用于利马学生的研究，并确定其心理测量特性。
来自利马四所公立学校的1033名高中生完成了BSSS的最终版本。进行了验证性因素分析以检验量表结构，并评估了性别不变性和效标效度。
验证性因素分析表明单维模型拟合良好（S-Bχ² = 56.74，df = 18，p <0.001；TLI = 0.972，CFI = 0.982，SRMR = 0.026；RMSEA = 0.046）。此外，多组不变性分析发现男孩和女孩之间存在度量不变性，但不存在标量不变性。此外，获得的组合信度系数为0.82。最后，BSSS得分显示在酒精、烟草和大麻的使用以及对大麻的好奇心和尝试意愿方面存在差异。
从BSSS获得的心理测量结果很有前景；使其成为测量利马青少年感觉寻求的合适工具。
