Avocational Sensation Seeking in High and Low Risk-Taking Occupations
Musolino, Robert F.; Hershenson, David B.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 10, 3, 358-364, Jun 77
This study investigated whether people engaged in high risk-taking occupations would seek or prefer highly stimulating activities of a nonvocational nature more than people engaged in low risk-taking occupations. The high risk-taking group scored significantly higher than the low risk-taking group on all five dimensions of the Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale. (Author)
