Abstract. This study aimed to determine the effect of sensation seeking on alcohol use among university students in Bandung City. Alcohol use among university students is a risk behavior that continues to increase, yet research on the underlying psychological factors, particularly sensation seeking, remains very limited in the Indonesian context. This study used a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. A total of 128 university students in Bandung City who had consumed alcohol at least once in the past three months were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS) to measure sensation seeking and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) to measure alcohol use. Results showed that 74.2% of respondents fell into the high sensation-seeking category, and 66.4% fell into the possible alcohol dependence category. Regression analysis showed that sensation seeking had a significant effect on alcohol use (p = 0.000), with a positive regression coefficient (B = 1.595). The R Square value of 0.349 indicated that sensation seeking contributed 34.9% to the variation in alcohol use, while the remaining 65.1% was influenced by other factors. Thus, the research hypothesis was accepted: the higher the sensation seeking of university students, the higher their level of alcohol use.
Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh sensation seeking terhadap penggunaan alkohol pada mahasiswa di Kota Bandung. Penggunaan alkohol pada mahasiswa merupakan perilaku berisiko yang terus meningkat, namun kajian mengenai faktor psikologis yang mendasarinya, khususnya sensation seeking, masih sangat terbatas dalam konteks Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain regresi linear sederhana. Sebanyak 128 mahasiswa di Kota Bandung yang pernah mengonsumsi alkohol minimal satu kali dalam tiga bulan terakhir dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS) untuk mengukur sensation seeking dan Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) untuk mengukur penggunaan alkohol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 74,2% responden berada pada kategori sensation seeking tinggi, dan 66,4% responden berada pada kategori kemungkinan ketergantungan alkohol. Analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa sensation seeking berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penggunaan alkohol (p = 0,000), dengan koefisien regresi positif (B = 1,595). Nilai R Square sebesar 0,349 menunjukkan bahwa sensation seeking memberikan kontribusi sebesar 34,9% terhadap variasi penggunaan alkohol, sementara 65,1% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain. Dengan demikian, hipotesis penelitian diterima, yaitu semakin tinggi sensation seeking yang dimiliki mahasiswa, semakin tinggi pula tingkat penggunaan alkohol yang ditunjukkan.
