Sensation seeking is a related construct to impulsivity, and has both been shown to exhibit moderate positive correlations with self-reported impulsivity and to potentially share genetically-mediated common biological mechanisms with impulsivity [82]. The SSS is a psychometrically validated measure [83] that provides an overall measure of sensation seeking proneness (SSS-Total) and four relevant lower order factors: Experience Seeking (SSS-ES), Boredom Susceptibility (SSS-BS), Disinhibition (SSS-D), and Thrill and Adventure Seeking (SSS-TAS).
