Hello,
Zuckerman has several sensation seeking scales some of the more well known could
be found in Zuckerman, M. (1994). Behavioral expressions and biosocial bases of
sensation seeking. New York: New York: Cambridge University Press. The most well
known and documented sensation seeking scale is the SSS-V. More recently,
however, Michael T. Stephenson, et al, have developed a couple of short forms of
sensation seeking that have been validated in large samples of adolescence and
against the SSS-V (see Brief measures of sensation seeking for screening and
large- scale surveys in the journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2003). Note
that these are measures are based on trait theories, though there are also
assessments based on state theories such as Apter's Reversal Theory.
I hope this helps.
James

Hi All,
A couple of weeks back, Raffy Luquis inquired about a good resource for
utilizing Technology in Halth Education.
I recently purchased a book published by AAHE that may fit your need. It is
called "Teaming Up On Technology", by Whalen and Fiorentino. It is full of
lessons and projects that students can use to integrate Technology into their
Health and Physical Education classes.
The url is:

Hope this helps.
