Abstract

Introduction

The Highly Sensitive Person Scale based on the sensory-processing sensitivity is a self-assessment questionnaire consisting of 27 items. The scale is designed in order to identify individuals with high sensitivity.

Objective

The objective was to develop a French version of the scale. We tested its internal consistency and test-retest reliability on a French population sample. Another aim of this study was also to question the multidimensionality of the scale, for which several different models are suggested within the literature.

Method

After translation and back-translation, a validation study was conducted on 814 adults. They were invited to complete an online questionnaire during the lockdown implemented due to COVID 19, between March 31st and May 11th (2020).

Results

The internal reliability of the French version of HSPS was very good, with a Cronbach's alpha of .90, as was that of the factors. Correlations between factors were significant (p < .001). The intra-class correlation (ICC) for test-retest was .889 (0.874–0.903; 95% confidence interval). Factor analyses suggested a 4-factors structure, mixing the models found in the literature.

Conclusions

This study focused on a French adaptation of the HSPS scale. The results showed good psychometric qualities and stayed true to the original HSPS scale. The scale could be useful both to practitioners in their clinical practice and to researchers in fundamental research.

法语版高敏感人格量表(HSPS-FR)心理测量特性的验证与研究

高敏感人量表是一份基于感觉加工敏感性的自评问卷，共27个条目。该量表的设计是为了识别具有高灵敏度的个体。目的:目的是开发一个法语版本的量表。我们在法国人口样本上测试了其内部一致性和重测信度。本研究的另一个目的是质疑量表的多维性，在文献中提出了几种不同的模型。方法对814名成人进行翻译和反译验证研究。他们被邀请在3月31日至5月11日(2020年)因COVID - 19而实施的封锁期间完成一份在线问卷。结果法语版HSPS的内部信度很好，Cronbach's alpha为0.90，各因素的内部信度也很好。各因素间相关性显著(p <措施)。类内相关性(ICC)为0.889 (0.874-0.903;95%置信区间)。因子分析显示为4因子结构，混合了文献中发现的模型。结论:本研究的重点是法语版的HSPS量表。结果显示良好的心理测量质量，并保持真实的原始HSPS量表。该量表对临床实践的从业者和基础研究的研究人员都很有用。

期刊介绍： The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
