“…It can be appreciated that women have lower scores in the group of Internet non-shoppers and they have higher scores in the group of those who shop on the Internet (in the total scale and three subscales, with exception of Dis). However, men tend to present higher scores than women in previous studies [10,18,28,31,34,39,51,52]. In Table 3 the results are shown of the logistic regression applied to the whole sample.…”

“…In particular, the influence of TAS has a certain predominance in earlier studies related to leisure [8,22,24,35,37]. As suggested by Hartman and Rawson [28], the TAS subscale is the most socially acceptable, less antisocial type of sensation seeking. Along the lines of Joireman et al [31], the link between TAS and involvement in shopping online suggests that it offers an opportunity to meet the needs of an extreme sensation seeker via less risky and perhaps more cognitively beneficial routes.…”

Sensation seeking and e-shoppers

The concept of sensation seeking has been extensively researched. However, a few studies have been carried out on the relationship between sensation seeking and e-commerce. More specifically, it studied the purchase of leisure products, which usually have a higher frequency of purchase on the Internet. With this in mind, the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS) created by Hoyle et al. (Pers. Individ. Differ. 32:401-414, 2002) is used, which adapts items from the SSS-V (Zuckerman et al., J. Consult. Clin. Psychol. 46:139-149, 1978). The results, based on a sample of 393 participants, explain that significant differences exist between e-shoppers and none-shoppers of leisure products with respect to the subscale of thrill and adventure seeking. Also, it is observed that there are significant differences between shoppers and non-shoppers only with women.

“…Athletes at the highest levels of sport frequently score high on sensation-seeking measures (Hartman & Rawson, 1992), although differences among female athletes and non-athletes do not appear as pronounced as those in the male population, and those who score highest on sensation-seeking measures are often those who participate in high-risk sports (O'Sullivan, Zuckerman, & Kraft, 1998). "High sensation seekers" tend to be less reluctant than "low sensation seekers" to experiment with drugs (Andrucci, Archer, Pancoast, & Gordon, 1989), and they also tend to be involved in a greater variety of activities than low sensation seekers are (D'Silva, Harrington, Palmgreen, Donohew, & Lorch, 2001); consequently, strategies for counseling high sensation seekers include proposing a variety of additional activities, especially those grounded in what D'Silva and her colleagues described as "action-adventure" and "conflict-combat" (p. 379).…”

Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use as a Complicating Factor in the Female Athlete Triad: Behavioral Implications for Sport Psychology

In 1992, recognizing a ubiquitous pattern of disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis among young women participating in competitive sports, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) initiated a dialogue about the Female Athlete Triad. Since then, members of ACSM and other professional societies have offered theoretical models for reducing problem behaviors, but few have conceptualized how the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) might exacerbate symptoms of the Triad, and by extension, complicate the work of sport psychology consultants in applied settings. The current article offers such a conceptualization, proposing strategies for behavior change grounded in appeals to self-efficacy and task performance, as opposed to emotion-based testimonials and threats of imminent maladies.

“…In addition, it was suggested that gender is a variable that affects risk taking behaviors and that males have a higher level of SS than females [16,17]. In the study of college students' SS level, regardless of sport participation; males were higher than females and controlling gender; athletes were higher than non-athletes [18]. When the subject is LC, in one study it is revealed that male and female athletes have different LC scores; female ones have higher level of ILC than men.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the locus of control (LC) and sensation seeking (SS) levels of university female students according to regular exercise participation (REP) and gender (G). This descriptive study was initiated in 2016 and finished in 2017. A total of 623 students, 306 females and 317 males, from different academic departments and universities in Turkey participated in the study. Sensation Seeking and Internal-External Locus of Control (IELC) Scales were used as data collecting materials. The independent t-test was performed in the analysis of the data. The meaning level was accepted as p<0.05 and confidence interval was 95%. SS level of the male is higher than the female (t=-4,091, p=,000<0.05) and the female have higher level of LC than the male (t=4,418, p=,000<0.05). REP was a critical factor for SS (t=6,580, p=,000<0.05) and LC t=-2,584, p=,010<0.05). There was no difference between female REPG and NREPG for LC (t=-1,012, p=,312>0.05) but SS (t=11,331, p=,000<0.05). Additionally; there was no difference between male REP and non-REP groups for SS (t=1,027, p=,305>0.05) but LC (t=-4,133, p=,000<0.05). Further researches are a need to approve the result of this study.
