Abstract
A principal components analysis of Sensation-seeking Scale IV ( n = 156 undergraduates) followed by a varimax rotation provided some support to the factorial validity of some of Zuckerman's subscales. It is suggested that the dimensions of sensation seeking were arbitrarily limited in earlier work on the problem.Keywords
