To investigate possible relationships between drivers’ sensation seeking and glance behavior while interacting with human-machine interfaces, a total of 70 drivers’ eye-glance data, Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS), and Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) data were collected and analyzed. Participants conducted radio tuning tasks with two standard production interfaces while driving on a highway, and their glance allocations to defined regions were recorded and manually annotated. Results showed that sensation seeking scores were related with self-reported violation scores, off-road glance patterns, and driving speed: (1) violation scores of DBQ were positively correlated with sensation seeking, (2) mean and standard deviation of off-road glance duration were positively correlated with sensation seeking for younger drivers (under 40 years), (3) total off-road glance time per minute and number of off-road glances per minute were positively correlated with sensation seeking for older drivers (over 40 years), and (4) percentage of speed change was negatively correlated with sensation seeking for both younger and older drivers. The results indicate that sensation seeking is associated with drivers’ off-road glance patterns and driving behavior. These observations further highlight the relationship between personal traits and driver behavior.

Property Offenses

The present study investigated the relationship between antisocial behavior and personality in 30 American juvenile males convicted of offenses including assault or confrontations with a victim, and 30 juvenile males convicted of offenses involving property without confrontation with a victim. Subjects, who were aged 14 to 17 yr. (mean 15 yr., 8 mo.) and held in detention pending sentencing, were administered the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale. Juveniles convicted of assaultive offenses exhibited significantly higher psychoticism, extraversion, and neuroticism scores, and lower lie scores than those convicted of property offenses. Sensation-seeking scores were significantly lower for the non-assaultive group. Results support Eysenck's description of dimensions of offenders' behavior.

The Relationship

This study examines the construct validity of the revised version of the Strelau Temperament Inventory (STI‐R) and the short scale (STI‐RS), which were introduced by Strelau, Angleitner, Bantelmann and Ruch (1990). Hypotheses about the relationship between the content scales of the STI‐R, viz. Strength of Excitation (SE), Strength of Inhibition (SI), and Mobility (MO) of CNS properties, and (a) other personality/temperament dimensions referring to the level of arousal, (b) selected temperament inventories, and (c) selected personality scales are derived and tested in a total of four samples with altogether 420 Ss. The inventories investigated include, among others, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised (EPQ‐R), Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS), the I.7 Impulsiveness Questionnaire (I.7), the Affect‐Intensity‐Measure (AIM), the EASI, the Structure of Temperament Questionnaire (STQ), and the Revised Dimensions of Temperament Survey (DOTS‐R). In general, the hypotheses regarding the place of the STI‐R in the temperament and personality domain were confirmed. A factor analysis of the STI‐R, EASI, and DOTS‐R yielded five factors: Emotional Stability, Rhythmicity, Activity/Tempo, Sociability, and Impulsivity versus Impulse Control.

The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between narcissism and sensation seeking. It was hypothesized that a positive relationship would be found between the two personality variables. Undergraduates were administered both the Narcissistic Personality Inventory and Form IV of the Sensation Seeking Scale. For both males and females, scores on the Narcissistic Inventory correlated significantly with scores on the Disinhibition subscale of the Sensation Seeking Scale. Boredom Susceptibility was correlated with narcissism for males, while scores on the General and Experience Seeking subscales correlated significantly with narcissism for females. If disinhibition were a social form of sensation-seeking, the correlations with narcissism for both sexes would be accounted for. The study supports the construct validity of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory and provides evidence for regarding narcissism as a dimension of personality.

SummarySensation seeking scale (SSS) scores were determined in 15 alcohol dependent men with a positive family history for alcoholism (FHP), in 15 alcohol dependent men with a negative family history for alcoholism (FHN) and in 15 well-matched healthy male controls (CONTR). Both FHPs and FHNs suffered from longlasting alcohol dependence meeting ICD-10 and DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria. Dopamine activity was neuroendocrinologically assessed by measuring the amount of growth hormone released after stimulation with the dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine. Planned comparisons within a one-way ANOVA yielded significantly elevated levels of boredom susceptibility (BOS) in both FHPs and FHNs against CONTRs. SSS total scores, while approaching statistical significance, were elevated in FHPs only. Partial correlations (controlling for age, body weight, alcohol intake and duration of dependence) were calculated to examine the relationship between SSS and dopamine activity. Among the SSS subtraits, BOS revealed the highest correlation in each group. However, only in CONTRs did the relationship between BOS and dopamine activity reach statistical significance.

The Relationship

In order to more fully understand the relationship between paranormal belief, locus of control, and sensation seeking, 81 undergraduate university students were administered the Paranormal Belief Scale (PBS), Rotter's Locus of Control Scale, and the Sensation Seeking Scale. Results indicated that a greater external locus of control was associated with greater overall number of paranormal beliefs. Greater external locus of control was especially associated with the PBS subscales of spirituality and precognition. Contrary to expectations, belief in superstition was associated with a greater internal locus of control. Whereas overall sensation seeking was not related to overall PBS scores, the PBS subscales of greater belief in psi phenomena and superstition were found to be associated with higher levels of sensation seeking. Results are discussed in relation to conceptualizations of the different personality/belief constructs.

Актуальность. Гены DRD2 и BDNF находятся на одной и той же 11-й хромосоме и могут участвовать в регуляции ряда психических проявлений поведения человека. Полиморфизм гена DRD2 Taq1A так же, как полиморфизм гена BDNF Val66Met, ассоциируют с агрессивностью, психическими расстройствами и высоким уровнем показателя «Поиск новизны». Вероятно, что существует эпистатическое или плейотропное влияние этих вариантов генов на проявление некоторых психологических черт личности человека, что, в свою очередь, может влиять на выбор его рода деятельности. Цель работы - поиск связи частот встречаемости полиморфизмов Taq1A и Val66Met и соответствующих генотипов с определенными личностными характеристиками людей и выбором рода их деятельности. Материалы и методы. 94 человека, успешно занимающихся бизнесом, были опрошены с помощью психологического теста «Мини-Мульт» (MMPI), шкалы Цукермана (SSS, sensation seeking scale) и шкалы черт личности Большой пятерки TIPI. После этого в образцах их ДНК с помощью ПЦР идентифицировали аллели А1 и А2 гена DRD2 и аллели Val и Met гена BDNF. С помощью статистических методов определяли, имелись ли значимые связи между уровнями проявления черт личности этих людей и носительством определенных генотипов. Результаты. Гомозиготы А2/А2Val/Val и дигетерозиготы А1/А2Val/Met показали наибольшую потребность в поиске новых ощущений по шкале Цукермана (SSS, sensation seeking scale), а также максимальную «Открытость опыту» и минимальную «Экстравертность» по шкале черт личности Большой пятерки TIPI. Вопросы из теста «Мини-Мульт» (MMPI) выявили больший уровень конфликтности носителей комбинации А2/А2/MetВыводы. Наличие выраженных связей между генотипом и уровнем проявления личностных черт позволяет нам предположить существование отбора по генотипам для этого рода деятельности. Background. The DRD2 и BDNF genes are localized on the same 11th chromosome and may be involved in a number of psychic manifestations of human behavior. Both the Taq1A polymorphism of the DRD2 gene and the Val66Met polymorphism of the BDNF gene are associated with aggressiveness, mental disorders, and high «novelty-seeking» scores. These gene variants likely exert epistatic or pleiotropic effect on manifestation of some psychological traits of an individual personality, which, in turn, may influence the choice of his/her type of activity. The aim of this study was to find associations of the Taq1A and Val66Met polymorphisms and frequencies of corresponding genotypes with definite personal traits and the choice of the type of activity. Methods. 94 people successfully engaged in business were interviewed with the Mini-Mult Psychological Inventory (MMPI), Zuckerman’s scale (SSS, sensation seeking scale) and scale of personality traits of the Big Five (TIPI). After that, alleles A1 and A2 of the DRD2 gene and alleles Val and Met of the BDNF gene were identified in their DNA samples using the PCR technique. Statistical methods were used to find significant associations between levels of personality trait manifestations and carriage of definite genotypes. Results. А2А2Val/Val homozygotes and А1/А2Val/Met diheterozygotes demonstrated the greatest need for sensation-seeking according to the Zuckerman’s SSS scale and also the maximal «Openness to experience» and the minimal «Extraversion» according to personality traits of the Big Five TIPI scale. The questions of the Mini-Mult test (MMPI) showed increased predisposition to conflict for the A2/A2/Met

Twenty breast-feeding (BF) mothers and twenty artificially feeding (AF) mothers were studied to assess the relationship between different feeding modes and the mother's enjoyment of feeding and her attitude toward and style of weaning the child to a cup. Besides administering a 30-45-minute semistructured interview, a sensation seeking scale and the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist (MAACL) were administered. Results indicated the BF mothers were higher sensation seekers, more satisfied with the feeding experience, and more ambivalent about weaning than the AF mothers. The BF mothers favored waiting for the child to initiate weaning, and breast-fed males were weaned significantly later than bottle-fed males. It appears that mode of feeding and optimal levels of stimulation are related to how the mother experiences infant feeding, although additional research is warranted.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the mediating role of shopping intention and the moderating roles of employee incompetence and consumer similarity in the relationship between consumers’ personal traits and their shoplifting behaviors Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the authors develop and test a model that links personality traits to shoplifting intention and behavior. The results from a sample of 507 consumers. Findings The results from a sample of 507 consumers show that shoplifting intention mediates the effects of personality traits (materialism, alienation and sensation seeking) on shoplifting behavior. In addition, both employee incompetence and consumer similarity are found to moderate the relationship between shoplifting intention and behavior. The findings offer some useful theoretical and managerial implications. Originality/value Drawing on the TPB, the authors investigate how personality traits (i.e. materialism, sensation seeking and consumer alienation) influence shoplifting behavior via shoplifting intention. They find that the effects of materialism, sensation seeking and alienation on shoplifting behavior are mediated by shoplifting intention. More importantly, they also find strong support for the moderating roles of employee incompetence and consumer similarity on the relationship between shoplifting intention and behavior. While employee incompetence enhances the relationship between shoplifting intention and shoplifting behavior, consumer similarity negatively moderates the relationship between shoplifting intention and shoplifting behavior.

A group of 64 undergraduates (39 women, 25 men) was given Zuckerman's Sensation-Seeking Scale and Cattell's 16 PF. High sensation-seekers were characterized by greater dominance, surgency, adventurousness, suspicion, and bohemian unconcernedness and by less shrewdness and self-sentiment control than low sensation-seekers. This pattern was more pronounced for women than men. The relationship of this constellation to psychopathy was discussed.
