The Relationship between Sensation-Seeking and Eysenck's Dimensions of Personality.
Eysenck, Sybil; Zuckerman, Marvin
British Journal of Psychology, v69 n4 p483-87 Nov 1978
The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Sensation-Seeking Scale were administered to 219 American undergraduates and 879 English twins. Sensation-seeking was positively correlated to EPQ-measured traits of extraversion and psychoticism. There was no relationship between sensation-seeking and the trait dimension of neuroticism.
