Marvin Zuckerman’s work on dimensions of sensation seeking reveals four dimensions to this trait: (1) thrill and adventure seeking (e.g., engaging in risky sports and activities); (2) experience seeking (e.g., travelling to exotic locations, experimenting with drugs, listening to exciting music); (3) disinhibition (e.g., going to wild parties, engaging in sexual activity with strangers); and (4) susceptibility to boredom (e.g., being easily bored by predictable experiences and people). These dimensions are theoretically independent. Using the SPSS output below, do you think that the factor structure of the questionnaire supports Zuckerman’s theory?
A. It isn’t clear whether the factor structure supports Zuckerman’s theory. B. There is evidence for susceptibility to boredom, experience seeking, thrill and adventure seeking but there is no evidence for disinhibition. C.
