In this longitudinal multiinformant study negative emotionality and sensory processing sensitivity were compared as susceptibility markers among kindergartners. Participating children (N = 264, 52.9% boys) were Dutch kindergartners (Mage = 4.77, SD = 0.60), followed across three waves, spaced seven months apart. Results show that associations between parenting and child behavior did not depend on children's negative emotionality. Sensory processing sensitivity, however, interacted with both (changes in) negative and (changes in) positive parenting in predicting externalizing, but not prosocial, behavior. Depending on the interaction, vantage sensitivity and differential susceptibility models were supported. The findings suggest that sensory processing sensitivity may be a more proximal correlate of individual differences in susceptibility, compared with negative emotionality. (PsycINFO Database Record
在这项纵向多信息源研究中，研究者将负性情绪和感觉加工敏感性作为易感性标志物，比较了它们在幼儿园儿童中的差异。参与研究的儿童（N=264，52.9%为男孩）为荷兰幼儿园儿童（Mage=4.77，SD=0.60），在三个时间点进行了随访，间隔 7 个月。结果表明，父母养育方式与儿童行为之间的关联并不依赖于儿童的负性情绪。然而，感觉加工敏感性与（负性和正性）父母养育方式（变化）交互作用，预测了外化问题行为，但不预测亲社会行为。根据交互作用，优势敏感性和易感性差异模型得到了支持。研究结果表明，与负性情绪相比，感觉加工敏感性可能是个体易感性差异的更直接相关因素。
