Abstract

The study was conducted on a sample of 171 pairs of adult twins with the aim of determining the level of the genetic and environmental influence on individual differences for an optimal level of arousal (Zuckerman’s sensation seeking construct), and tendencies towards risky behavior (smoking and alcohol abuse). Sensation Seeking Scale and Personal Information Questionnaire were applied. The results have shown that sensation seeking subdimensions belong to the category of highly heritable personality traits (50% - 63%), as well as the smoking addiction (75%). An unshared environmental influence has also proven to be important for these variables. As for the alcohol abuse, it has been proven that it is mostly determined by the effect of the unshared environment (68%). Additionally, the additive genetic factor mainly contributes to covariation between sensation seeking constructs and different risky behaviors.

基于遗传和环境因素的感觉寻求和冒险行为

这项研究是在171对成年双胞胎的样本上进行的，目的是确定遗传和环境对个体差异的影响程度，以获得最佳唤醒水平（Zuckerman的感觉寻求结构）和危险行为倾向（吸烟和酗酒）。采用感觉寻求量表和个人信息量表。结果表明，感觉寻求亚维度属于高度可遗传的人格特征（50%-63%），也属于吸烟成瘾（75%）。事实证明，不受控制的环境影响对这些变量也很重要。至于酗酒，事实证明，这主要是由非共享环境的影响决定的（68%）。此外，加性遗传因素主要导致感觉寻求结构和不同风险行为之间的协变量。
