Abstract

Two hundred and fifty four undergraduate students, 102 males, mean age 20.21 years ( SD=1.59) and 152 females, mean age 19.6 years ( SD=1.58) were administered the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) Form VI Arabic Version. Significant sex differences were found on the Experience-Thrill and Adventure Seeking, Experience-Disinhibition and Intension-Disinhibition Scales, but there were no sex differences on the Intention-Thrill and Adventure Seeking Scale. The intercorrelations of the four scales in males, females and the total group was computed. The differences between findings of this study and that of other countries could be interpreted as evidence of cultural differences in sensation seeking. The results obtained with this Arabic version of the SSS (Form VI) show an acceptable adaption of this scale.
