Cannabis use and sensation-seeking orientation
J Psychol.
1984 Jan.
Abstract
Cannabis use and its relationship with sensation-seeking orientation was investigated in 48 college and university students of both sexes. Users and nonusers were matched for sex, age, and education. Cannabis users scored higher on all the four subscales of the sensation-seeking scale (SSS). Analysis of covariance controlling for the use of alcohol, cigarettes, and LSD decreased the level of significance between the user and nonuser groups on all the subscales and the total SSS scores; however, the differences between the user and nonuser remained significant on the disinhibition subscale and the total SSS scores.
