Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Zuckerman and other researchers found that SSS scores, particularly on disinhibition, were related to Eysenck's factor of extraversion and to the asocial tendencies associated with psychoticism. As a result of this finding, Zuckerman suggested that high sensation seekers are egocentrically extraverted, which means they are concerned with other people only as an audience or a source of stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: The motives of the pro-social group are related to factors other than thrill and adventure seeking (Levenson, 1990). High sensation seekers also appear more willing than low sensation seekers to relocate from familiar to unfamiliar surroundings and to travel to exotic places, even when the journey involves physical hazards.
