Studies on sensation-seeking behavior appear in both psychology and OT literature, although it is unclear if these disciplines are measuring related constructs. This study sought to calculate the degree of correlation between these constructs and determine the relationship among sensation seeking, age, and substance use. The results provide a basis for improved communication between disciplines regarding the discussion of sensation-seeking behaviors.
