感觉寻求，即偏好令人兴奋、最佳和新颖的刺激或性唤起的倾向，是人类免疫缺陷病毒感染 (HIV) 性风险的潜在中介因素，而 HIV 是获得性免疫缺陷综合症 (AIDS) 的病因。然而，最广泛使用的感觉寻求量表——感觉寻求量表（Zuckerman、Kolin、Price 和 Zoob，1964）包含许多文化上过时的项目和与性行为无关的项目。在这项研究中，106 名同性恋活跃男性完成了新开发的与性和非性经历相关的感觉寻求测量，以及性强迫测量。结果表明，新量表具有内部一致性和时间稳定性。其他分析证明了这些量表的收敛、发散和判别有效性，表明它们可用作高风险性行为模型中的中介变量。讨论了艾滋病毒预防和行为改变的影响。
Sensation seeking, the propensity to prefer exciting, optimal, and novel stimulation or arousal, is a potential mediating factor in sexual risk for human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV), the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, the most widely used measure of sensation seeking, the Sensation Seeking Scale (Zuckerman, Kolin, Price, & Zoob, 1964), contains numerous culturally outdated items and items that do not pertain to sexual behavior. In this study, 106 homosexually active men completed newly developed measures of sensation seeking related to sexual and nonsexual experiences, as well as a measure of sexual compulsivity. Results show that the new scales were internally consistent and time-stable. Additional analyses demonstrated convergent, divergent, and discriminant validity for these scales, showing them to be of use as mediating variables in models of high-risk sexual behavior. Implications for HIV prevention and behavior change are discussed.
