Originally published in 1979, this title represents a summary of
17 years of research centring around the "Sensation Seeking Scale"

First published in 1976, this volume was completely new with
original contributions and traces the advances in theory and
research on anxiety and emotion of the previous decade. The authors
examine the origins of fear, anxiety, and other emotions and
consider self-report and psychophysiological approaches to the
measurement of anxiety. Also considered are the effects of anxiety
on the behaviour of normal and abnormal subjects, and the volume
concludes with behavioural approaches to assessment and treatment
of anxiety in clinical settings.

Personality is now understood to be a function of both biological
and environmental influences. This revised and updated edition of
Psychobiology of Personality describes what is currently known
about the biological basis of the primary personality traits,
including genetic, neurological, biochemical, physiological, and
behavioral influences. Emphasis is placed on understanding the
connections between phenomena at these levels. The research
discussed makes use of animal models, based on experimental brain
research, as well as human clinical and normal personality
research. Chapters are devoted to temperament and personality trait
structure, psychobiological methods, and each of four major
personality traits: extraversion, impulsive, sensation seeking, and
aggression. Recent advances in psychobiological methods, such as
molecular genetics and brain imaging have enabled us to begin to
unravel the genetic and neurological sources of behavior and
personality. These advances are discussed in this new edition,
making it essential reading for advanced students of psychology and
psychiatry.
Sensation seeking is a trait describing the tendency to seek novel, varied, complex, and intense sensations and experiences and the willingness to take risks for the sake of such experience. The first sensation seeking scale (SSS) was developed in the early 1960s and since that time the instrument and the theory of the trait have evolved as a function of continuing research around the world. The author describes the research and theory on sensation seeking with emphasis on new findings since 1979. Researchers have found behavioral expressions of sensation seeking in various kinds of risk-taking behaviors such as driving habits, health, gambling, financial, alcohol and drug use, sexual behavior, and sports. The trait is also involved in vocational preferences and choices, job satisfaction, social, premarital and marital relationships, eating habits and food preferences, media and art preferences, humor, fantasy, creativity and social attitudes. The author here describes its modes of assessment, behavioral expressions, and genetic and psychobiological bases. This book presents the only available study of this fascinating topic and it will be sure to interest researchers and their students active in personality research.
