Abstract |
Thirty-four male and 20 female members of two canoe clubs completed Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale, Form V. Respondents also rated their paddling level, highest difficulty level of the rivers they paddled with regularity, highest difficulty level of the rivers they would like to paddle, and anxiety level prior to put-in. As predicted, male and female paddlers had significantly higher Thrill and Adventure Seeking scores than the comparable normative scores. Thrill and Adventure Seeking scores correlated negatively with anxiety level, and their correlation with difficulty level of the rivers paddlers would like to attempt approached significance. Similar results were obtained when questionnaire responses were dichotomized and analyses of variance were conducted with sensation seeking scores as dependent variables. |
