摘要
The structured and formal nature of aerobic exercise classes was predicted to be more attractive to low than to high sensation seekers. This relationship was investigated by administering Zuckerman's (1979) Sensation-Seeking Scale, Form V and a questionnaire which probed various aspects of aerobic exercise participation (e.g. patterns of attendance, motivations for starting and continuing, and social aspects of the activity) to 177 females who were currently enrolled in aerobic exercise classes. Aerobic exercise participants were found to score lower on sensation seeking than did the individuals of comparable age groups of Australians or Canadian students. © 1990.
