Българска адаптация на кратката скала за търсене на усещания (BSSS)
Bulgarian adaptation of Brief sensation seeking scale (BSSS)

Summary/Abstract: The present study examined the psychometric properties of a Bulgarian adaptation of the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS, Hoyle et al., 2000). The scale was administered to a sample of 178 students. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a four-factor solution similar to that found in the original scale. Internal consistency of the whole scale was high (a= 0, 787). Convergent validity was supported by significant positive correlations between sensation seeking, extraversion, risky sexual behavior, drug involvement and violation of traffic rules. Results indicated that the Bulgarian adaptation of the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale is a reliable and parsimonious measure for research of risky and protective factors in adolescence and young adulthood.
