Abstract
The present study examined sensation seeking as a possible factor in the etiology of bulimia. The Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale was administered to 31 bulimic and 34 nonbulimic females. No significant. differences were found between groups in total sensation seeking or on any of the four subscales: nonbulimic subjects scored slightly to moderately higher in all cases. Findings are discussed in terms of possible differences among individuals in the preonset and postonser stages of this disorder.
