N2  - The present study was conducted to determine whether three groups of participants differ in sensation-seeking, impulsive, and individuating behaviors. The three groups included Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) students, students with relatives in the military, and students with no relatives in the military. We hypothesized that ROTC participants would be more sensation seeking and impulsive, and less individuated, than non-ROTC participants. The results indicated that ROTC participants were more sensation seeking than non-ROTC participants. In addition, ROTC participants were more impulsive than participants who did not have relatives in the military and were more individuated than non-ROTC participants. The implications of these results are discussed.<p />
