Notes
The
purpose
of this
study
was to
examine
the
relationships
between
risk-taking
,
sensation
seeking
, and
psychological
well-being
among
public
service
personnel
.
Two
hundred
and
thirty-one
participants
were
recruited
from a
New
England
community
. These
comprised
police
officers
,
firefighters
,
business
executives
and
students
. They were
administered
tests
assessing
risk
taking
,
sensation
seeking
, and
antisocial
attitudes
. The
results
revealed
significant
differences
between
business
executives
and the
three
groups
(students
,
police
and
fire
fighters)
on a
measure
of
antisocial
attitudes
.
Further
,
firefighters
obtained
significantly
higher
scores
than the
other
three
groups
on a
risk
taking
scale
.
Pearson
correlation
coefficient
indicated
significant
relationships
among
risk
taking
,
sensation
seeking
and
psychopathy
in the
four
groups
.
Implications
of these
findings
and
suggestions
for
future
research
are
discussed
.
