      PROSPECTUS

      Problem Background

      We are in a society where risk – taking takes many forms. From the Sensation Seeker who is just looking to enhance their life with new experiences to the Disinhibited who are risk taking by experimenting with drugs and alcohol, promiscuous sex, violent behaviors and deviant activities. It has long been a problem in colleges, the problem of, maintaining retention and graduation rates with the interference of deviant behaviors from some of their students (Correia, 2016). This interference could also endanger their attendance and inadvertently affect the schools’ retention rates and that lies in inappropriate behaviors of students that could jeopardize their standing with the school. These poor behaviors hurt the student body on many account with school rapes, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, fights and other deviant behaviors at the helm of the problems within most college institutions (Correia, 2016). It is important to better understand the background of the type of student that partakes in these deviant behaviors versus the more behaviorally successful student to enable schools to decrease incidents and increase safety and retention on their campuses (Correia, 2016).

      Significance of The Study

      The premise behind this particular study is to look for relationships and differences between three very distinct areas of study: Emotional Intelligence, Personality Traits and Sensation Seeking Behavior’s four distinct Traits and to study these differences and relationships when comparing two groups on a college campus. Those two groups include one with behavioral problems and one without. What is proposed by studying two different groups of participants; one that is of college students that have no troubled behavior and one with college students who do have troubled behavior is to gain a firmer understanding of the differences between Emotional Intelligence Levels, rates of Sensation Seeking and differing Personality Traits between college students with behavioral problems and college students without. Studying the relationships in these variables is important because people engage in risker behavior today than in previous times, and these risks are not only detrimental to their own wellbeing but also to the wellbeing of others (Zuckerman, 2007). In a worst case scenario, as a society there are problems with random mass shootings, terrorism, murder and mayhem and that may fall under Thrill and Adventure Seeking, Disinhibition or Boredom Susceptibility but of course in its extreme form! (Zuckerman, 2007).

      Purpose of The Study

      The purpose of this study is to twofold. First, this study will examine relationships between Sensation Seeking Behavior, Emotional Intelligence and Personality Traits. Second, this study will investigate differences in Sensation Seeking Behaviors, Emotional Intelligence, and Personality Traits between two groups: college students with documented behavioral problems and college students with no documented behavioral problems. The type of behavioral problems to be examined would be alcohol or chemical abuse or dependency presented consequences from the abuse or dependence as well as violent behaviors, aggression, or blatant disregard for self or others. Taking this into account Sensation Seeking will be measured as presented by a score that will differentiate between positive affect and sensation seeking behaviors as well as a combined score of positive affect paired with sensation seeking behavior which will reveal the emotional state of the participant who sensation seek as well as those who do not. At the present time it is unknown if the sensation seeking behaviors will be differentiated between positive sensation seeking and negative sensation seeking. If this type of differentiation is needed a different measurement tool may be warranted to measure sensation seeking behavior. .

      Research Questions, Hypotheses,

      and Problem Statements

      Research Questions

      RQ1. Is there a relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Sensation Seeking Behavior and Personality Type?

      RQ2. Is there a difference between groups of college students who have documented behavioral issues and those who do not on scores of Emotional Intelligence, Sensation Seeking and differing Personality Type?

      Review of The Literature

      Fructman (2015) conducted a study to better understand sensation seeking and one specific trait of personality, psychopathy, and how they relate to one another. Fructman did this by utilizing a sensation seeking scale that looked at all four different aspects of sensation seeking thrill and adventure seeking, experience seeking, disinhibition and boredom susceptibility and a Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R) to determine level of psychopathic traits (Fruchtman, 2015). Also, Fructhman looked at heart rate and how it related to sensation seeking by evaluating the heartrate of participants while they were reporting sensation seeking behaviors that were psychopathic and antisocial, i.e., reports of criminal activity, robbery, drug activity, etc. In Fruchtman’s findings there was no relationship between heart rate and psychopathic personality but there was a significant relationship between sensation seeking behavior and psychopathic personality (Fructman, 2015).

      Bacon, Burak, and Rann (2014) looked at Sensation Seeking Behavior and Emotional Intelligence. The purpose of their study was to investigate the potential moderating effect of the trait of emotional intelligence. This effect is embodied by the fact that emotion regulation is highly associated with positive outcomes in life and positive overall well-being. This study tested 76 adults with 48 being females and 28 being males; the mean age was 19.76; they were given measurement tools to test Sensation Seeking Behavior and emotional intelligence; and lastly all of the participants reported some sort of delinquent behavior. Bacon, Burak and Rann (2014, p. 22) concluded that high levels of emotional intelligence might predispose individuals to antisocial relational behaviors. It was noted that people who are low in emotional intelligence levels actually scored a higher delinquent behavior which
