The participants were all white, and all but three were male. Their average age was 30, and they had an average of 7.2 years of police experience and 2.9 years of college. Pursuit tendencies were measured using official department records, self-reports of previous pursuits, and responses to two hypothetical situations. Sensation seeking was measured using a 40-item scale, Form V of Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale. Results revealed that the official records ad self-report measures of pursuit correlated significantly with sensation seeking. Findings indicated that attention to personality differences may help police supervisors implement a more predictable police pursuit policy. Table and 5 references (Author abstract modified)
