Understand the concept of sensation seeking: Sensation seeking is a personality trait defined by the search for experiences and feelings that are varied, novel, complex, and intense, and by the readiness to take physical, social, legal, and financial risks for the sake of such experiences.
Identify the characteristics of sensation seekers: They often engage in risk-taking behaviors, seek out novel and intense experiences, and may surround themselves with unpredictable people.
Analyze Fabrizio's behavior: He is described as doing things impulsively, engaging in risk-taking activities, and being around unpredictable people, which aligns with the traits of a sensation seeker.
Consider alternative explanations: While loneliness, immorality, or irresponsibility could be considered, they do not comprehensively explain the pattern of behaviors described.
Conclude that the best explanation for Fabrizio's behavior is sensation seeking, as it directly relates to his high need for arousal and the behaviors he exhibits.
