“…There have been conflicting results concerning a potential connection between OSL and imagery. Some studies have effectively observed that OSL is positively related to imagery (Franken and Rowland, 1990;Macrae et al, 2014;McDaniel et al, 2001), while others could not verify a presumed link between imagery and OSL Lee, Kwak, Lim, Pedersen and Miloch, 2011;Parra and Argibay, 2012). However, the difficulties these latter studies encountered in finding a positive OSL-imagery connection could stem from the particular operationalisation used for imagery.…”

“…In fact, they employ imagery-related measures (e.g. the frequency of imagery evocations of the usage of a certain product, the content of imagery, or the individual's proneness to fantasy) rather than centring on the imagery experience in and of itself (Franken and Rowland, 1990;McDaniel et al, 2001). Besides, imagery experiences have two important characteristics that are in synchrony with the kind of stimuli (new, complex, diverse) sought by individuals who score highly in OSL (Gu et al, 2018;Richard and Chandra, 2005).…”

Purpose -Mobile Facebook (m-Facebook) creates many business opportunities for brands and firms while increasingly drawing interest in scientific literature. However, research is scarce on the immersive experiences prompted by m-Facebook, and how these experiences facilitate users' engagement, their positive attitude towards Facebook and their continued use of it. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -This paper theoretically and empirically analyses m-Facebook users' immersive experiences, along with their affective and behavioural effects. Findings -The results reveal the important role of imagery, presence and flow in the context of m-Facebook; the interplay between these three immersive phenomena; and the influence the user's optimum stimulation level has on them. Originality/value -The investigation offers a foundation for understanding users' immersive experiences on m-Facebook, and informs practitioners who aim to enhance users' engagement with, attitude towards, and continued use of m-Facebook content.

“…Several studies imply that sensation seekers are sensitive not only to external stimulation, but also to internal images (see Zuckerman, 1978), and have a rich and varied fantasy life (Franken and Rowland, 1990). According to Zuckerman (1978), they are not frightened by primary process or regression in the service of the ego, as manifested in vivid daydreams, night dreams, and intense waking imagery bordering on hallucinations.…”

“…War captivity has consistently been recognized as an extreme traumatic and pathogenic experience (Herman, 1992;Hunter, 1991;1993). Among the long-term pathologic a l effects of captivity are diagnosed psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Eberly, Harkness and Engdahl, 199 1 ;Solomon, Neria, Ohry, Waysman and Ginzburg, 1994;Speed, Engdahl, Schwartz and Eberly, 1989), depression (Page, Engdahl and Eberly, 1991;Tennent, Goulston and Dent, 1986), and anxiety (Sutker, Allain and Winstead, 1993); psychological problems such as reduced selfesteem (Sutker, Thomason and Allain, 1989); and cognitive deficits including concentration and memory difficulties (Sutker, Winstead, Galina and Allain, 1991).…”

Coping with war captivity: The role of sensation seeking

et al. 1995

This study examines the implication of both sensation seeking and the subjective appraisal of captivity in the long-term adjustment of ex-prisoners of war (ex-POWs). 164 Israeli ex-PO Ws and 184 comparable controls were studied, 18 years after their participation in the Yom Kippur War. The findings indicate that high-sensation seekers adjusted better than low-sensation seekers to the stresses of captivity. Low-sensation-seeking ex-PO Ws reported more PTSD symptoms, more severe psychiatric symptomatology, and more intense intrusive and avoidance tendencies. High-and low-sensation-seeking PO Ws differed also in feelings when taken prisoner, subjective assessment of suffering in prison, ways of coping with prison, and emotional states during captivity. The present study supports the postulation that sensation seeking is an important stress-buffering personal resource. The role of coping styles in long-term adjustment following war captivity is discussed.

Re-Examining the Relationship between Fantasy and Optimum Stimulation Levels

Conflicting results concerning the relationship between optimum stimulation levels (OSLs) and fantasies have been noted in the psychology literature [1, 2]. Therefore, the current study ( n = 330) employed the Impulsive Sensation Seeking Scale (ImpSS), the Change Seeking Index (CSI) short-form, and a short-form Need for Cognition (NFC) scale, along with gender, to examine their relationship with the fantasy subscale from Davis' Interpersonal Reactivity Index [3], while controlling for age. The Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) results support significant relationships between all OSL measures and the fantasy construct, as those reporting higher levels of each trait reported significantly greater levels of the fantasy measure. Gender was also a significant factor, as female respondents reported significantly greater mean fantasy scores than did males. In addition, fantasy scores were a significant negative function of age in two analyses. The results are discussed, along with the limitations of the study and future directions for research.
