Sex of respondent and the respondent's self-concept of sex-role, as measured by the Bem (1974) scale, were correlated with scores on subscales of the Sensation-seeking Scale for a sample of 96 female and 96 male college students. Also, sex-role self-concept was correlated with aspects of sensation-seeking within each sex. For the combined sample, sex-role self-concept was significantly more related to scores on the sensation-seeking scales than sex of respondent for four of the five subscales. Within both samples, sex-role self-concept was negatively and significantly correlated with sensation-seeking. Regardless of the sex of respondent, those individuals who endorsed a greater number of feminine than masculine personality characteristics as self-descriptive indicated lower levels of sensation-seeking
