Here we examined the possibility of a relationship of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) with chronotype in a German-speaking sample of = 1807 (1008 female, 799 male) with a mean age of 47.75 ± 14.41 y (range: 18-97 y). The data were collected using an anonymous online questionnaire (Chronotype: one item of the Morning-Evening-Questionnaire, as well as typical bedtimes on weekdays and weekends; SPS: German version of the three-factor model ; Big Five: NEO-FFI-30) between 21 and 27 April 2021. Results. We found morningness to correlate with the SPS facet low sensory threshold (LST), while eveningness correlated to aesthetic sensitivity (AES) and marginally significant to ease of excitation (EOE). Discussion: The results show that the correlations between chronotype and the Big Five personality traits are not consistent with the direction of the correlations between chronotype and the SPS facets. The reason for this could be different genes that are responsible for the individual traits influence each other differently depending on their expression.
在这里，我们研究了感觉加工敏感性（SPS）与德国裔样本中昼夜节律（chronotype）之间关系的可能性，该样本共有 1807 人（1008 名女性，799 名男性），平均年龄为 47.75 ± 14.41 岁（范围：18-97 岁）。这些数据是通过匿名在线问卷收集的（昼夜节律：晨-昏问卷中的一个项目，以及工作日和周末的典型睡眠时间；SPS：三因素模型的德语版本；大五人格：NEO-FFI-30），收集时间为 2021 年 4 月 21 日至 27 日。结果表明，早睡早起者与 SPS 方面的低感觉阈相关，而晚睡晚起者与审美敏感性（AES）相关，与易兴奋（EOE）相关，但相关性不显著。讨论：研究结果表明，昼夜节律与大五人格特质之间的相关性与昼夜节律与 SPS 方面之间的相关性不一致。其原因可能是负责个体特质的不同基因的表达方式不同，它们之间的相互影响也不同。
