Sexual sensation seeking among adolescents has been mostly associated with unprotected sex and other risky
behaviors. This paper presents the Spanish adaptation and validation of the Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale
(SSSS). This cross-sectional study included 1350 adolescents (601 male and 749 female), aged between 15 and
18 years (M = 16.1, SD = 0.97). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) yielded two components: Physical
Sensations Attraction (PSA), and New Experiences Seeking (NES), which together accounted for 48.98% of the
total variance. That structure was later verified through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Internal consistency
was 0.82 for the total scale, and 0.76 and 0.82 for each factor. Moreover, the measure had adequate
convergent validity and was positively related to sexual compulsivity, number of sexual partners in the last six
months, and consumption of alcohol and other drugs. In conclusion, this self-administered instrument is a useful
brief screening measure in research and clinical practice for Spanish-speaking people. [-]
