A retrospective case-control study was carried out to determine whether sensation-seeking preferences were associated with spinal cord injury (SCI). One hundred forty male SCI patients were individually matched by age, race, gender, educational attainment at the time of SCI, and current zip code with 140 current Louisiana driver's license holders. Participants were interviewed by telephone. Sensation-seeking was assessed by the Disinhibition (Dis) and Boredom Susceptibility (BS) subscales of Zuckerman's Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS, Form V). Although an earlier study found no difference on the SSS between a group of SCI patients and published norms, modest but statistically significant differences were found between SCI subjects and control subjects with respect to both subscales and the combined SSS score. The mean difference on the latter was 1.6 units on a scale of 0-20 (t = 4.11, p = .0001). Compared to patients scoring below the tenth percentile on the SSS, those scoring above the 90th percentile were significantly younger at the time of SCI, more likely to report an arrest before their SCI, and more likely to be using drugs or alcohol at the time of SCI.
开展了一项回顾性病例对照研究，以确定寻求刺激偏好是否与脊髓损伤（SCI）有关。140名男性脊髓损伤患者按照年龄、种族、性别、脊髓损伤时的教育程度以及当前邮政编码与140名路易斯安那州现行驾照持有者进行个体匹配。通过电话对参与者进行访谈。通过朱克曼寻求刺激量表（SSS，第五版）的去抑制（Dis）和无聊易感性（BS）分量表评估寻求刺激情况。尽管一项早期研究发现一组脊髓损伤患者在SSS上与已发表的常模没有差异，但在两个分量表以及SSS综合得分方面，脊髓损伤受试者与对照受试者之间存在适度但具有统计学意义的差异。后者的平均差异在0至20分的量表上为1.6分（t = 4.11，p = .0001）。与在SSS上得分低于第十百分位数的患者相比，得分高于第90百分位数的患者在脊髓损伤时明显更年轻，在脊髓损伤前更有可能报告被捕，并且在脊髓损伤时更有可能使用毒品或酒精。
