Aesthetic sensitivity in people with high sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) reflects the positive perception of life, especially aspects related to the arts and nature. This study is focused on the analysis of the effect of aesthetic sensitivity in relation to indicators of health-related quality of life (general health, mental health and emotional role), the personality traits openness to experience and agreeableness, and coping strategies in people with SPS. The adult participants ( = 10,520, mean age = 33.61) completed the Spanish versions of the High Sensitivity Person Scale (HSPS-S), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI). It was observed that people with high aesthetic sensitivity presented greater openness and agreeableness, tended to use adaptive coping strategies and showed a slightly poorer functioning in different areas of daily living. Moreover, health-related quality of life, mental health and adaptive coping strategies occupied central positions in the correlations between variables, with a positive impact between mental health and adaptive coping strategies with openness and agreeableness. Lastly, the level of aesthetic sensitivity did not play a moderator role, and it exerted no differential influence on its relationship with the analysed variables. Now, it has been found that people with high levels of aesthetic sensitivity cope more adequately, which would cushion the effect that high SPS can have on mental health, specifically on anxious and depressive symptoms. It is concluded that these findings are relevant and useful for future propositions of prevention and clinical intervention, as well as for counselling in the psychoeducational, labour and family scopes, amongst others.
高感官处理敏感性（SPS）人群的审美敏感性反映了对生活的积极认知，尤其是与艺术和自然相关的方面。本研究聚焦于分析审美敏感性对高SPS人群健康相关生活质量指标（总体健康、心理健康和情感角色）、人格特质开放性和宜人性以及应对策略的影响。成年参与者（n = 10520，平均年龄 = 33.61）完成了西班牙语版的高敏感人群量表（HSPS - S）、简短健康调查问卷（SF - 36）、大五人格问卷（NEO - FFI）和应对策略量表（CSI）。研究发现，高审美敏感性的人表现出更高的开放性和宜人性，倾向于使用适应性应对策略，且在日常生活的不同领域功能略显较差。此外，健康相关生活质量、心理健康和适应性应对策略在变量间的相关性中占据核心地位，心理健康与适应性应对策略之间对开放性和宜人性有积极影响。最后，审美敏感性水平未起到调节作用，对其与所分析变量的关系也未产生差异影响。现在已经发现，高审美敏感性的人应对得更充分，这将缓冲高SPS对心理健康，特别是焦虑和抑郁症状可能产生的影响。研究得出结论，这些发现对于未来预防和临床干预的建议以及心理教育、劳动和家庭等领域的咨询等具有相关性和实用性。
