Bands

Low Sensation Seeking

Expressions activating this band describe a cautious, reserved orientation toward risk and high-intensity experiences, with reluctance toward dangerous or physically thrilling activities. They may also include neutral or only weakly relevant content without a clear pull toward excitement.

Mild Sensation Seeking

Expressions activating this band describe some impulsiveness and curiosity about exciting or adventurous experiences, but in a tentative or selective way. Thrill is appealing in idea or in limited forms rather than as a strongly embraced lifestyle.

Moderate Sensation Seeking

Expressions activating this band describe active enjoyment of speed, recklessness, and risky stimulation, including unsafe driving or high-adrenaline recreation. Excitement is treated as rewarding and worth some danger.

High Sensation Seeking

Expressions activating this band describe a strong attraction to fast, intense, and mechanically focused thrills, especially around high-speed driving or riding. Risk is approached with eagerness and framed as part of the desired experience.

Extreme Sensation Seeking

Expressions activating this band describe thrill pursuit as highly exciting, immersive, and centered on dangerous speed, crashing, or loss of control. Intense stimulation is sought in ways that strongly normalize severe risk.
