“…It has been previously proposed that this relationship is due to males having higher circulating levels of gonadal hormones, in particular, testosterone compared to females. 40 Early socialization patterns and tendency to conform to gender-based stereotypes may also account for the greater effect in males. Intervention programs may benefit from deconstructing stereotypes about gender roles.…”

“…Sensation seeking, or the propensity to seek new diverse experiences despite potential risks, is strongly associated with early-onset problematic alcohol use during adolescence (Arnett, 1992;Crawford et al, 2003;D'Amico et al, 2001;Hittner and Swickert, 2006). Of note, heightened levels of sensation seeking occur during this developmental period, relative to any other time in the life course (Zuckerman and Neeb, 1980).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined the role of cognitive factors-such as expectancies regarding the consequences of not drinking and perceptions of peer drinking-in mediating affective and personality-based risk associated with adolescents' decisions to initiate alcohol use. Method: Nondrinking high school students (N = 1,268) completed confi dential surveys on adolescent attitudes and behaviors related to substance use in 2 consecutive years. Self-reported alcohol use was assessed in both years, and social anxiety, depression, sensation seeking, expectancies for not drinking, and perceived peer alcohol use were assessed in the second year. Results: The odds of initiation were considerably lower for students with higher expectancies for not drinking, compared with those with lower expectancies. Odds of initiation rose signifi cantly with each additional perceived peer drink reported. Both cognitive factors mediated the relationships between social anxiety, depression, sensation seeking, and alcohol-use initiation. Conclusions: Beliefs regarding the consequences of not drinking and perceived peer drinking play key roles in the relationship between affective and personality styles on adolescent drinking. These cognitive differences may explain varying affective risk profi les for alcohol initiation and use during adolescence, and they can provide tools for prevention efforts. (J.

“…Adicionalmente, la validez del instrumento referida a un criterio a través de la estimación de este rasgo en hombres y mujeres parece ser congruente con lo reportado a través de las comparaciones entre sexos (Arnett, 1994;Chico, 2000;Hittner et al, 2006;Mallet et al, 2007;Michel et al, 1999;Newcomb et al, 1991;Roth et al, 2007;Zuckerman, 1979Zuckerman, , 1994Zuckerman, , 2007Zuckerman et al, 2000) quienes señalan que existe una tendencia significativamente mayor de los hombres sobre las mujeres en la búsqueda de sensaciones. Estas diferencias parecen apuntar tanto a factores biológicos como de socialización (Arnett, 1994;Brocke et al, 1999;Michel et al, 1999;Roth et al, 2007;Zuckerman, 1994Zuckerman, , 2007.…”

“…La evidencia encontrada señala que los hombres presentan un puntaje más alto que las mujeres en la búsqueda de sensaciones, de igual forma este rasgo se presenta con mayor recurrencia en hombres que en mujeres (Hittner & Swickert, 2006;Roth et al, 2007;Zuckerman, 1994Zuckerman, , 2007, lo cual puede deberse tanto a factores biológicos como de socialización (Arnett, 1994;Newcomb & McGee, 1991;Zuckerman, 1994;Zuckerman et al, 2000). Entre los estudios que muestran evidencia sobre estas diferencias se encuentra lo reportado por Zuckerman (1994) quien señala que los hombres muestran significativamente altos puntajes en el total de la búsqueda de sensaciones y en las subescalas de búsqueda de experiencias, desinhibición y susceptibilidad al aburrimiento en comparación con las mujeres.…”

RESUMENLa búsqueda de sensaciones es un rasgo de personalidad que se refiere a la necesidad de buscar nuevas experiencias y sensaciones. Se desarrolló un nuevo inventario para medir éste rasgo como una expresión bioconductual de la personalidad. Los objetivos de la presente investigación fueron determinar las propiedades psicométricas (estructura factorial, validez y consistencia interna) de un nuevo inventario para medir búsqueda de sensaciones, así como evaluar su validez referida a un criterio y obtener baremos normativos en una muestra de adolescentes mexicanos. Se seleccionó una muestra de 550 jóvenes, 260 hombres y 290 mujeres, entre 14 y 23 años, estudiantes de bachillerato de la Ciudad de México. Los análisis psicométricos mostraron ocho dimensiones, cuatro similares a las reportadas por Zuckerman: búsqueda de emociones intensas, búsqueda de experiencias y aventura, desinhibición y susceptibilidad al aburrimiento y cuatro nuevas dimensiones nombradas búsqueda de placer, búsqueda de riesgo, búsqueda de novedad y búsqueda de lo inusual. Adicionalmente los hombres puntúan significativamente más que las mujeres en el total de la búsqueda de sensaciones y en seis subescalas. La discusión analiza la utilidad del nuevo inventario para la evaluación de la búsqueda de sensaciones y de sus dimensiones en adolescentes. ABSTRACTThe seeking sensation is a trait of personality defined by the need for varied, novel experiences and sensations. A new inventory measuring sensation seeking was designed how a bio-behavioral expression of personality. The objectives of this research were analyze the psychometric properties (factorial structure, validity and reliability) of the new inventory for measure seeking sensations, assessment criterial validity and obtain normative standards in a sample of Mexican youths. The studied sample was formed by 550 teenagers between 14 and 23 years old, 260 males and 290 females, students of public high schools in Mexico City. The psychometric analysis showed eight factors, four factors are similar Zuckerman´s sensation seeking, intense emotions seeking, thrill and adventure seeking, desinhibition and boredom susceptibility. The four new factors are: pleasure seeking, risk seeking, novelty seeking and unusual seeking. Compared with female, the man had the highest levels of sensation seeking in total score and six subscales. The discussion analyze the utility of a new inventory for assessment of sensation seeking and new factors in adolescents.
