In this study the factor structure of the Sensation Seeking Scale Form VI was compared for the Kuwaiti and American subjects. Thrill and adventure seeking Factor, Part II Intention, showed good cross-cultural reliability for men only. The differences between findings of this analysis and that of Zuckerman could be interpreted as evidence of cultural differences between Kuwaiti and American subjects in sensation seeking.
