THE EYSENCK PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE AND ZUCKERMAN SENSATION SEEKING SCALE (FORM-V) IN FINLAND - AGE-DIFFERENCES

Finnish versions of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS, Form V) were completed by 463 women and 504 men, aged 17-71 yr. Results showed that the P and E scores and all the SSS scores declined with age. In contrast, the L scores increased as a function of age. Age differences on the EPQ and SSS scales were in accordance with earlier findings. Possible implications of the differences are discussed briefly. © 1990.
