Sensation seeking, substance abuse severity, and psychiatric disorders were systematically assessed in a clinical and a community sample of 335 cocaine abusers. In contrast to low-sensation-seeking cocaine abusers, high-sensation seekers exhibited more severe symptoms of substance abuse, exhibited more severe psychosocial impairment, were more likely to be polysubstance abusers, and had an earlier age of onset for substance use and abuse. High-sensation seekers were more likely to report both a lifetime history and family history of antisocial personality, attention deficit disorder, and conduct disorder. Sensation seeking was related to several dimensions that are important for defining subtypes of substance abusers and was consistent with other features of a Type II classification.
在一个由335名可卡因滥用者组成的临床样本和社区样本中，对感觉寻求、药物滥用严重程度和精神疾病进行了系统评估。与低感觉寻求的可卡因滥用者相比，高感觉寻求者表现出更严重的药物滥用症状、更严重的心理社会功能损害、更有可能是多种物质滥用者，并且物质使用和滥用的发病年龄更早。高感觉寻求者更有可能报告反社会人格、注意力缺陷障碍和品行障碍的终生病史和家族病史。感觉寻求与定义药物滥用者亚型的几个重要维度相关，并且与II型分类的其他特征一致。
