Abstract
In this study, using athletes as subjects we analysed the empirical co nnections between sensation seeking, motivational orientation-and its subsequent subjective emotional states-, reactivity to social rules, a nd the choice of various sports implying progressive levels of risk. T he resulting data are discussed with respect to the theoretical backgr ound defined by Zuckerman's sensation seeking model and Apter's revers al theory.
