Abstract

The relationship between sensation seeking and serum sex steroid levels was investigated in 95 male subjects with antisocial personality disorder and 103 healthy male subjects. Participants completed Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale. Free and total testosterone, DHEA and cortisol were derived from plasma between 07:00 and 09:00. Sensation seeking scores of subjects with antisocial personality disorder were higher than that of the control group. In antisocial personality group, free and total testosterone, cortisol and DHEA levels were significantly higher than those of the control group. When the hormone levels and behavior patterns were examined, only a negative relationship between disinhibition and experience seeking subscales of sensation seeking scale and cortisol levels were found, and there was no other relationship between behavior patterns and other hormone levels. Data did not confirm any relationship between sex steroids and sensation seeking in the antisocial personality disorder group. There was a weak relationship between sensation seeking behavior and hormone levels in this study. It was thought that sensation seeking behavior would improve in a social environment and the dynamics of this environment could affect the behavior.

Özet

Bu çalışmada heyecan arama davranışı ile plazma seks steroid düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki, antisosyal kişilik bozukluğu tanısı alan 95 erkek denek ile 103 sağlıklı erkek denekte incelenmiştir. Katılımcılar Zuckerman Heyecan Arama Ölçeğini tamamlamışlardır. Serbest ve total testosteron, DHEA ve kortizol saat 07:00 ve 09:00 arasında plazmadan elde edilmiştir. Antisosyal kişilik bozukluğu grubunun heyecan arama puanları kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Antisosyal kişilik bozukluğu grubunda serbest ve total testosteron, kortizol ve DHEA düzeyleri kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Antisosyal kişilik bozukluğu olan bireylerin sadece heyecan arama alt ölçeklerinden disinhibisyon ve deneyim arama puanları ile kortizol değerleri arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğu, diğer hormon değerleri ile davranış paterni arasında ilişki olmadığı gösterilmiştir. Çalışmada hormon düzeyleri ile heyecan arama davranışı arasında zayıf bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Heyecan arama davranışının sosyal çevre içinde geliştiği, sosyal çevrenin dinamiklerinin de davranışı etkileyebileceği düşünülmüştür.
