Are extreme sports just another way of getting high?

July 23rd, 2012 2 comments

I party my a*s off.
I sometimes indulge in illicit substances.
I live fast, and might die young…who knows.

My point is that this is how I get a rush.

Some people, however, engage in ‘extreme sports,’ some of which are reckless and dangerous…kinda like illegal drug use.
Are extreme sports just some people’s way of getting high, even if it is from adrenalin?

That’s how I do it.

Has there ever been a Psychology Experiment carried out at an Amusement Park or on Extreme Sports?

I need the details of the procedures and findings of a psychology experiment carried out on theme park rides or extreme sports.

There have been many that have been done, quite a few have been published even. All you need to do is a search using google (or another engine) and type what you are looking for.

I would suggest thinking about what you are looking for exactly, you seem to have an extremely broad topic here. Are you really looking for an experiment or a research project. What type of results are you looking for?

I know that you said procedures and finding, but of what. . .peoples reaction to the level of adrenalin produced from different rides, how many people rode each ride, how people decided what to ride, how people decided what they would pay to do something, what were the adrenalin levels measured at before and after a ride, how people felt (fight or flight) during a ride, I could keep going on this.

You need to decide what you are wanting first. Then do the research on it. The best would be to do your own experiment. If that is not the assignment, and you truly just need a copy of an experiment you still need to narrow it down. Or you will become overwhelmed by what you see and will have a difficult time picking one out.

Good Luck!!!
