Abstract

This study investigated whether sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is associated with a perceptual advantage, rather than just heightened brain, emotional and behavioural reactivity. Participants (N = 222) were tested on detection and identification of visually degraded words at three levels of difficulty, and completed the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) and the Big Five Inventory. The positive subscale of the HSPS predicted both the detection and identification of visually degraded stimuli, and beyond the Big Five traits. This contradicts claims that SPS is solely a combination of Big Five traits. Importantly, the perceptual advantage for highly sensitives may balance the disadvantages of being easily overwhelmed by stimuli and indicates separate evolutionary advantages and strategies for high and low SPS humans and other mammals.

感官处理敏感性的感知优势及其与五大人格特质的关联性测试研究

本研究调查了感觉处理敏感性（SPS）是否与知觉优势相关，而不仅仅是大脑、情绪和行为反应性的增强。参与者（N = 222）接受了三个难度级别的视觉降级词的检测和识别测试，并填写了高敏感人群量表（HSPS）和大五量表。高敏感性人格量表的正向分量表预测了视觉降级刺激的检测和识别能力，而且超出了大五特征的预测能力。这与 "SPS "仅仅是 "大五 "特质组合的说法相矛盾。重要的是，高度敏感者在知觉方面的优势可能会平衡容易被刺激物淹没的劣势，并表明高、低SPS人类和其他哺乳动物在进化过程中具有不同的优势和策略。

期刊介绍： Emphasizing experimental and descriptive research, the Journal of Research in Personality presents articles that examine important issues in the field of personality and in related fields basic to the understanding of personality. The subject matter includes treatments of genetic, physiological, motivational, learning, perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of both normal and abnormal kinds in human and animal subjects. Features: • Papers that present integrated sets of studies that address significant theoretical issues relating to personality. • Theoretical papers and critical reviews of current experimental and methodological interest. • Single, well-designed studies of an innovative nature. • Brief reports, including replication or null result studies of previously reported findings, or a well-designed studies addressing questions of limited scope.
