People high in self-monitoring and sensation-seeking tend to be gregarious. For the self-monitor, social interaction is a means to the end of influencing others, and for the sensation-seeker it is a valuable source of stimulation. The present study explored the extent that the two constructs overlap by examining correlations between scores on the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (RSMS) and Forms IV and V of the Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS). Another aim of the study was to compare scores earned by individuals of different ages. College students (N=84) completed the RSMS and the SSS or just the RSMS. Results showed a significant relationship between self-monitoring and sensation-seeking. With regard to age, sensation-seeking seemed to decrease with age, possibly after age 24. This finding is consistent with research showing that sensation-seeking peaks during the teenage years and then decreases with age. It appears that the ability to modify one's self-presentation accounts for most of the overlap between self-monitoring and sensation seeking. Evidence from the study suggest that the significant positive relationship observed between self-monitoring and sensation seeking is real. (LLL)
