한국형 감각추구척도의 타당도 검증과 스포츠 참가 예측분석 = Structural validly of the Modified Sensation Seeking Scale(MSSS) and discriminant analysis on the sports activity participation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The propensity for sensation seeking is considered as a significant factor to decide sports activity participation. This paper is designed for verifying the structural validly of the sensation seeking scale which was initially developed in general psychology field by Zuckerman, and assesses the predictive ability of sensation seeking scale in sports participation. The sensation seeking scale consists of four scales with forty questions (TAS; Thrill & Adventure Seeking, ES; Experience Seeking, BS; Boredom Susceptibility, DIS; Disinhibition). The questionnaire from the scales was revised and supplemented through contents analysis, and reduced to thirty questions according to the result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. From the result of factor analysis Utilizing modified index, structural validly of MSSS was confirmed through four scales twenty-eight questions (GFI; .90, CFI; .91, TLI; .91, RMR; .04). As a result of discriminant analysis to examine the predictive ability of sensation seeking scale on sports participation, sensation seeking factors to discriminate between participators and non-participators were TAS and DIS among male and DIS, TAS and BS among female. This result suggests that the application of MSSS is valid in the studies on sports activity participation.
