Reliability and Validity of the Sensation-Seeking Scale: Psychometric Problems in Form V
نویسندگان
چکیده
Psychometric properties of Zuckerman's Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS; Form V) were examined in a sample of 336 Canadians (181 females and 155 males). The SSS total score was moderately reliable (a = .75), but the subscales were only marginally so (between .48 and .69) and only moderately intercorrelated. For the females, the subscales were even less reliable (between .44 and .67) and less intercorrelated (rs between .02 and .27); even the total score was only marginally reliable (.68). Significant but small correlations of the SSS were obtained for both males (r = .19) and females (r = .28) with volunteering for an experiment on what sensation seekers are denned as seeking: emotionally arousing stimuli.
