Abstract

Risky behaviors are common in developing countries, especially in adolescence. Moreover, sensation seeking is an important factor in personality. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between risky behaviors and sensation-seeking in a sample of Iranian adolescents. This study used a cross-sectional method with 400 high school adolescents (age between 15 and 21 years old) in Kashan city from multistage random sampling. The research instrument consisted of three parts: a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) and the Zuckerman Sensation-Seeking Scale-V (SSS-V). Data analysis was performed using the t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, regression and Spearman correlation coefficient in SPSS v 11.5. Risky behaviors were found in 51.2% of students, and a significant difference was found between the male and female students in this regard (p < .021). The overall sensation-seeking score and the scores in the dimensions of experience seeking, disinhibition, and boredom susceptibility were higher in males than females (p < .0001). All dimensions of sensation-seeking other than disinhibition dimension could significantly predict risky behavior. Sensation seeking can be used as an indicator for screening risky behaviors. Detailed planning on the part of the health care system and public authorities is recommended for appropriate screening and counseling adolescents with risky behaviors.

青少年危险行为与感觉寻求:一项描述性相关研究。
危险行为在发展中国家很常见,尤其是在青少年中。此外,感觉寻求是人格的一个重要因素。本研究旨在评估伊朗青少年的危险行为与寻求刺激之间的关系。本研究采用横断面法,采用多阶段随机抽样的方法对喀山市400名15 ~ 21岁的高中青少年进行调查。研究工具由社会人口调查问卷、青少年危险行为监测系统(YRBSS)和Zuckerman寻求刺激量表v (SSS-V)三部分组成。数据分析采用SPSS v 11.5的t检验、方差分析、卡方、回归和Spearman相关系数。51.2%的学生存在危险行为,男女学生有显著性差异(p < 0.021)。总体感觉寻求得分、体验寻求、去抑制、无聊易感性维度得分男性高于女性(p < 0.0001)。除去抑制外,感觉寻求各维度均能显著预测危险行为。感觉寻求可以作为筛查危险行为的一个指标。建议卫生保健系统和公共当局进行详细规划,以便对有危险行为的青少年进行适当的筛查和咨询。
