Abstract
This report describes the use and validation of the Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS) with Thai Ss. Based upon anthropological and popular reports about Thailand, it was predicted that (a) Thai students would have lower SSS scores than American students, (b) Buddhist monks would have lower scores than Thai students, and also (c) Thai students in teacher-training schools would have lower scores than those in schools of commerce. The first two hypotheses were confirmed; the third was not. In addition, Thai males had significantly higher SSS scores than females. The advantages of the SSS as a measuring instrument are discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
