Abstract
Over the past few years, surveys assert that young adults are prone to road accidents at an increased rate. There are numerous reasons that could play a role in this significant increase in road accidents among young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. The present study examines the relationship between sensation seeking and irritability among college students. Sensation seeking is the tendency to search out and engage in thrilling activities as a method of increasing stimulation and arousal. Irritability is a state of excessive, easily provoked anger, annoyance, or impatience. The study was conducted on the population of college students in Kerala. The sample size consists of 40 undergraduate students in India. The process of data collection was done by means of questionnaires and personal information that was gathered via Google Forms. The two questionnaires used for this process are the Sensation Seeking Scale (ZKA-PQ) and the Brief Irritability Test (Holtzman et al., 2015). The study came to the conclusion that there is no significant relationship between thrill and adventure seeking, experience seeking, disinhibition, boredom susceptibility, and irritability.
