Abstract

Sensory processing is a fundamental aspect of human experience, and varies significantly between individuals, potentially affecting individual functioning, behaviour, and mental health. This study investigated the associations between sensory processing and psychopathology in a sample of the general population. Participants responded to a general psychiatric screening tool (DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure-Adult) and to the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) questionnaire. The sample comprised 1108 young adults (77.25% females, mean age 22.6). Data were analysed using item response theory and Bayesian network analyses, revealing specific associations between sensory profiles and psychopathological dimensions. Specifically, we detected associations between the low registration sensory profile and the dimensions of psychosis, substance use, and mania. Sensation seeking was associated with mania. Sensory sensitivity was related to depression and mania, while sensation avoiding was inversely correlated with mania. These findings suggest that reduced external sensory awareness may be linked to a predisposition to psychosis, while a multifaceted sensory processing pattern may indicate vulnerability to mood disorders. Assessing sensory processing could yield crucial insights into individual susceptibilities to mental disorders and help identify targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies

探索社区青少年样本中感官处理与精神病理学之间的联系：贝叶斯网络分析

感觉处理是人类经验的一个基本方面，不同个体之间存在很大差异，可能会影响个体的功能、行为和心理健康。本研究调查了普通人群样本中感觉处理与精神病理学之间的关联。参与者回答了普通精神病筛查工具（DSM-5 自评一级交叉症状测量-成人）和青少年/成人感官特征（AASP）问卷。样本包括 1108 名青少年（77.25% 为女性，平均年龄为 22.6 岁）。我们利用项目反应理论和贝叶斯网络分析对数据进行了分析，发现了感官特征与精神病理学维度之间的特定关联。具体来说，我们发现低登记感官特征与精神病、药物使用和躁狂症之间存在关联。感觉寻求与躁狂症相关。感觉敏感度与抑郁和躁狂有关，而感觉回避与躁狂成反比。这些研究结果表明，外部感官意识的降低可能与精神病的易感性有关，而多方面的感官处理模式则可能预示着情绪障碍的易感性。对感觉处理进行评估，可以深入了解个人对精神障碍的易感性，并有助于确定有针对性的预防和治疗策略。
