Abstract The present study explored the association between narrative engagement and sensation seeking behaviour among young adults utilizing a quantitative, cross sectional, correlational research design. In this study two scales are used, the narrative engageability scale (Rick W. Busselle and Helena Bilandzic (2009) and the sensation seeking scale (Zukerman et al 1964) a portion of it was later taken and developed into a scale by the American Psychological Association (APA) were administered to 299 young adults (age range 18-30) in Tamil Nadu, India. The descriptive statistics indicated that on average respondents reported a level of narrative engageability of 57.67 (SD = 16.284) and a level of sensation seeking behaviour of 5.43 (SD = 2.070). There was a slight but positive correlation between narrative engagement and sensation seeking behaviour ( r = .128, p = 0.27). The alternate hypothesis is accepted, thereby indicating the influence of thrill and risk seeking behaviour by narrative immersive experience. Limitations include regional focus and exclusion of older adults/uneducated participants. Future research could include diverse population and other psychosocial factors such as social conformity.
Keywords Narrative engagement, sensation seeking behaviour, young adults.
