Zuckerman (1979) defined sensation-seeking as a person’s need for varied, novel, and exciting experiences and the willingness to take risks for the sake of having those experiences. A body of literature exists that shows that among adolescents and young adults, sensation-seeking predicts a tendency to seek out and enjoy highly stimulating movie genres, including horror (Harris et al., 2000; Johnston, 1995), pornography (Zuckerman & Litle, 1986) and violent action adventure movies (Aluja-Fabregat, 2000; Aluja-Fabregat & Torrubia, 1993). Although in these studies being male was associated with high levels of sensation seeking, being male also made an independent contribution to selecting these stimulating genres. To date, no demonstration of similar relationships in young children exists.
