Взаимосвязь характеристики «поиск ощущений» с характеристиками самосохранительного поведения
Sensation seeking is the characteristic that describes the behavior tending for new incentive and experience. There is some research about connection between sensation-seeking and alcohol, smoking and extreme sports. This article examines the relationship between sensation-seeking and self-protecting behavior. Self-preservation behavior is activity aimed at maintaining physical and psychological health. Sample consisted of 280 students at the age 18–26 years. Methods: Sensation-seeking scale (M. Zuckreman), psychological well-being scale (K. Ryff) and questionnaire about health. Results: high sensation-seeking stimulates sport-activity. Sensation-seeking subscales "intellectual seeking", "avoidance of changes" and "avoidance of new" negatively correlates with alcohol and smoking. Sensation-seeking and psychological well-being correlations showed that the highest aspiration to experience and thrills reduces manifestations of trust and care about other people, the desire to maintain social ties and enhances the feeling of lack of personal development.
