摘要

漆彈運動(Paintball Games)自1980年起於美國開始萌芽發展，已有20年的歷史。根據2002年National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA)調查目前是全球快速成長的運動，並成為青少年冒險遊憩中最受歡迎的一項。然而其他項目的戶外遊憩活動，例如：登山、探索教育活動和滑雪已有相關研究成果，但近年受歡迎的漆彈活動卻較少了解其參與者狀況。因此，本研究主要目的有二：一為探討青少年刺激尋求之高低對於個人背景與參與其他冒險性活動之差異情形。二為暸解青少年刺激尋求動機之高低對於漆彈活動滿意度與休閒效益之差異情形。本研究修改Zuckerman (1979)開發的刺激尋求量表第五版(Sensational Seeking Scale, SSS)和休閒效益量表，並針對青少年漆彈玩家做問卷訪談，取得299份問卷。研究結果顯示：青少年的刺激尋求心理特質並無顯著的影響在整體參與漆彈運動之滿意度、未來參與漆彈活動的可能性、以及個人休閒效益。但就整體休閒效益說明，青少年追求高刺激的漆彈參與者比追求低刺激者獲得較高的滿意度。
