Abstract
Introduction: The concept of sexual sensation seeking is an interesting construct in the study of human sexuality. Objective: The aim of the present study was to validate the Portuguese version of the Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale (SSSS), a unidimensional scale that assesses sexual sensation seeking among men and women. Material and methods: A total of 298 participantscompleted the Portuguese version of the SSSS. Results: The main psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the SSSS were assessed. Discussion: The original unidimensional structure of the SSSS was replicated and good values were also obtained in terms of internal consistency, convergent validity, divergent validity and concurrent validity. Conclusions: The use of the Portuguese version of the SSSS is justified and reinforced since it has sound psychometric properties.
