Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: High scores on the SSS were also positively correlated with the openness to experience and the agreeableness dimensions of the five-factor model of personality (Roberti, 2004).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: People who score higher on the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) tend to engage in what Sigmund Freud called primary-process thought. They may have images, dreams, and daydreams so vivid that the distinction blurs between these internal stimuli and the real world. Zuckerman suggested that because high sensation seekers continually search for novel experiences, if they cannot find them in external situations they may look inward and create a fantasy world.
