The purpose of the present study was to identify different levels of sensation seeking and to assess how these relate to using additional functions of cell phones. Research method was correlational. A sample of 400 students (228 female, 172 male) from the University of Zanjan was selected using random cluster sampling. The students were asked to complete sensation seeking questionnaire as well as questionnaires on using images and video clips of cell phones. Data was analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient and two independent group's t test. Statistical analyses revealed significant relationship between level of sensation seeking and using cell phone images and video clips. In addition, individuals with low levels of sensation seeking used political and religious images in their cell phone photo gallery significantly less than high sensation seekers. Low sensation seekers used video clips with nature, social, romantic, scientific, or political themes or those related to poets, authors, or sportspersons (related to women) significantly more than the individuals with high levels of sensation seeking. In contrast, high sensation seekers used shows and videos featuring naked or semi-naked persons significantly more than students with low levels of sensation seeking. Girls used images of political, religious, and literary figures more than boys and boys were more inclined than girls to use photos of political and sport figures.
