Hoda Majnunpur and Samaneh Najarpourian

Abstract


Sex (in fact, womanhood and manhood) is a trait affecting many mental conditions. That women are mentally different from men and have different wants has been proved. This role index can play an important role in identifying and improving men and women’s soul. Accordingly, this study was carried out to examine the relationship between sexual schema and sensation seeking in the students of Haji Abad Islamic Azad University. The statistical sample of the study consisted of students studying at Haji Abad Islamic Azad University between 2013 and 2014. The sample comprised 200 students (100 girls and 100 boys) selected by simple random sampling. Data collection was done using Anderson and Kranovsky (1994) girls’ and boys’ sexual schema scales and Zuckerman sensation seeking scale. Hypothesis testing was conducted by Pearson correlation coefficient test and multivariate regression. Results showed that girl students’ sexual schema explains %14.9 of girls’ sensation seeking. Component emotional and romantic significantly (p=0.04) predicts girls’ sensation seeking. Boys’ sexual schema also explains %8 of their sensation seeking. All components of boys’ sexual schema significantly and confidently (%95) predict boy students’ sensation seeking. Hence, sexual schema predicts students’ sensation seeking.
