Sensation seeking is a known risk factor for unsafe and reckless behavior among college students, but its association with well-being is unknown. Given that exploration plays an important psychosocial role during the transition to adulthood, we examined the possibility that sensation seeking is also associated with psychological well-being. In a large multisite US college sample (N = 8,020), scores on the Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking were positively associated with risk behavior, psychological well-being, and eudaimonic well-being. When sensation seeking dimensions were examined separately, well-being was found to be associated with high novelty seeking but with low intensity seeking.
寻求刺激是大学生不安全和鲁莽行为的一个已知风险因素,但其与幸福感的关联尚不清楚。鉴于探索在向成年期过渡过程中起着重要的心理社会作用,我们研究了寻求刺激也与心理健康相关的可能性。在美国一个大型多地点大学样本(N = 8,020)中,阿尼特寻求刺激量表的得分与风险行为、心理健康和幸福安康呈正相关。当分别考察寻求刺激的维度时,发现幸福感与高新奇寻求相关,但与高强度寻求无关。
