Responses to Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) and Cloninger's Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (which consists of novelty seeking, harm avoidance, and reward-dependence dimensions) have been linked to a variety of behavioral and psychiatric variables. The relationship of these two measures to one another has not been examined previously and, in the present study, is evaluated in a group of men briefly hospitalized for treatment of alcohol and chemical dependence. Total sensation seeking scale scores were significantly correlated (Pearson r) with total novelty seeking scale scores. Set correlation analysis revealed significant overall relationships between sensation seeking and both high novelty seeking and low harm avoidance. Most of these overall relationships were attributable to six subscales, although broad relationships were observed between the SSS disinhibition and novelty seeking subscales, and between a harm avoidance subscale and all SSS subscales. Neither statistical approach identified an association between reward dependence and sensation seeking.
对祖克曼的感觉寻求量表（SSS）和克隆宁格的三维人格问卷（由寻求新奇、避免伤害和奖赏依赖维度组成）的反应已与多种行为和精神变量相关联。此前尚未研究过这两种测量方法之间的相互关系，在本研究中，对一组因酒精和药物依赖而短期住院治疗的男性进行了评估。感觉寻求量表总分与寻求新奇量表总分显著相关（皮尔逊r）。设定相关分析显示，感觉寻求与高寻求新奇和低避免伤害之间存在显著的总体关系。这些总体关系大多归因于六个子量表，尽管在SSS去抑制和寻求新奇子量表之间，以及一个避免伤害子量表与所有SSS子量表之间观察到了广泛的关系。两种统计方法均未发现奖赏依赖与感觉寻求之间存在关联。
