摘要：The aim of the present study is to examine suppression effect of sensation seeking
in the relationship between general self-efficacy and life satisfaction among
emerging adults. The data were gathered using Satisfaction with Life Scale,
General Self-efficacy Scale, and Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS-8).
Correlation and regression analysis were performed to determine whether there is a
relationship among variables and to test whether sensation seeking has suppression
effect in the relationship between general self-efficacy and life satisfaction. The
findings of the study demonstrated that general self-efficacy positively related to
life satisfaction and sensation seeking, but the life satisfaction didn’t relate to
sensation seeking significantly. Although no significant relationship was found
between sensation seeking and life satisfaction after the correlation analysis, after
the regression analysis sensation seeking variable was found to both significantly
predict life satisfaction and increase general self-efficacy’s capability to predict life
satisfaction. These results prove that sensation seeking has suppression effect in
the relationship between general self-efficacy and life satisfaction.
