Sensation seeking in cycling and self-reported riding behavior: Data to assess demographic and individual correlates.

ABSTRACT: The Sensation Seeking in Cycling (SSC) scale represents the first scale developed specifically to measure this risk-related personality trait in the context of urban cycling. It operationalizes the tendency to pursue novel or intense experiences while riding, addressing variance that generic sensation-seeking measures overlook in specific traffic settings. This Data in Brief (DiB) article appends and describes an extensive dataset covering the cross-cultural application of the SSC scale, presented alongside cyclists' demographic and individual features, as well as self-reported riding behavioral indicators.
