两项研究，评估新开发的规模寻求感觉和性强迫。结果表明，规模是可靠的，并与收敛和发散措施在预期的方向在男同性恋者（N = 296）和内城低收入的男性和女性（N = 158）的样本相关。与感觉寻求理论一致，这些量表对应于对一系列性行为的吸引，包括增加无保护性交的频率和更多的性伴侣。正如预期的那样，性强迫与性行为的多样性和新奇无关，但与较低的自尊水平和对采取降低性风险策略的抵制有关。然而，在男同性恋者和异性恋者样本之间观察到了重要的差异;尺度仅在男同性恋者中与物质使用相关，而性强迫仅在异性恋者中与一系列性行为相关。因此，感觉寻求和性nasivity量表是可靠的，有效的，并在预测性风险行为有用。
Two studies are presented that evaluate newly developed scales of sensation seeking and sexual compulsivity. Results showed that the scales were reliable and correlated with convergent and divergent measures in expected directions in samples of both gay men (N = 296) and inner city low-income men and women (N = 158). Consistent with theories of sensation seeking, the scales corresponded to an attraction toward a range of sexual practices, including increased frequencies of unprotected intercourse and a greater number of sexual partners. As expected, sexual compulsivity was not related to variety and novelty in sexual practices, but was associated with lower levels of self-esteem and resistance to adopting sexual risk-reducing strategies. However, important differences were observed between the gay men and heterosexual samples; scales correlated with substance use only among gay men, and sexual compulsivity was related to a range of sexual practices only among heterosexuals. The sensation seeking and Sexual Compulsivity Scales were therefore reliable, appeared valid, and useful in predicting sexual risk behaviors.
