摘要
The present study investigates the relationship between sensation seeking and anhedonia, a pathological reduction in pleasure capacity. Previous studies have shown that hospitalized schizophrenics manifest lower levels of sensation seeking than do other psychiatric and non-psychiatric populations. The presence of anhedonia in schizophrenic and pre-schizophrenic populations has also been noted, leading to the development of measures of anhedonia designed to locate schizophrenia-prone individuals. The present study found an inverse relationship between Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale and the Physical Anhedonia Scale, which has been used as a measure of psychosis vulnerability. These findings suggest that lowered levels of sensation seeking may be indicative of physical anhedonia and may also play a role in proneness to schizophrenia. © 1990.
