Suppression Effect of Sensation Seeking in the relationship between the Proactivity Personality and Life Satisfaction
Abstract :
The aim of this study was to examine whether sensation seeking has a suppression effect in the relationship between proactive personality and life satisfaction. The Sensation Seeking Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Proactive Personality Scale were administered to a sample of 562 students (156 males and 392 females) enrolled in Sakarya University. To examine the relationships between the variables, Pearson correlation coefficient was utilized. Regression analyses assessed whether sensation seeking suppresses the relationship between proactive personality and life satisfaction levels. The result of the correlation analyses demonstrated that life satisfaction correlated significantly and positively with proactive personality levels, whereas it did not correlate significantly with sensation seeking levels. Furthermore, proactive personality correlated significantly and positively with sensation seeking levels. Regression analyses showed that sensation seeking has suppression effect in the relationship between proactive personality and life satisfaction. Although sensation seeking is not related to life satisfaction, it suppresses irrelevant variance when it is added to the regression model.
