Administered the Change Seeker Index (CSI) to 2 groups of undergraduates; it was accompanied for 127 Ss by a questionnaire on drug use and for 152 Ss by a questionnaire on other stimulus-seeking behaviors. Results indicate that the CSI is a good predictor of such behaviors. The high change seeker appears to fit the description of the typical discontented student or college "drifter." It is suggested that such students may need a more changeful environment and greater stimulation in their classwork. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
