Plenary #270):  A Protective Edge: Sensation Seeking, Perceived Wellness & Life Effectiveness. 

Can you be well on the “edge”? Sensation seeking has long been associated with high risk health behavior (e.g., unintentional injury). Little is known about sensation seekers’ perception, ability or motives to engage in protective vs. endangering health behavior. This presentation will describe the results of an investigation of the interplay between sensation seeking, perceived wellness and life effectiveness. Study results will aid in the development of techniques to identify and enhance the health promoting aspects of sensation seeking. The results of the study offer professionals practical applications in the areas of optimal living, stress management, goal setting, rehabilitation and wellness plan adherence.
