Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a biological/temperament trait that is associated with greater awareness of and reactivity to the environment, which results in amplified responses to various stimuli, and possibly medications. We investigated the relationship between SPS and medication sensitivity in three studies. Participants (ages 18-81) were recruited from university (Study 1: = 125; Study 2: = 214) and online (Study 3: = 351) samples. In each study, participants completed a medication sensitivity scale, the standard highly sensitive person (HSP) scale to assess SPS, and a negative affectivity (NA) scale as a control variable. All three studies found moderate, significant correlations between SPS and medication sensitivity ( = 0.34, < 0.001: = 0.21, = 0.003; = 0.36, < 0.001, respectively). Correlations remained significant, and similar, when controlling for NA and gender; and there were no significant interactions with gender. In sum, our results suggest that SPS is associated with medication sensitivity, even when considering NA and gender. Thus, future work might consider SPS when investigating recommended medication, medication dosage, effectiveness, and adverse drug reactions.
感觉加工敏感性(SPS)是一种生物学/气质特征,与对环境更高的意识和反应性相关,这会导致对各种刺激以及可能对药物产生放大反应。我们在三项研究中调查了SPS与药物敏感性之间的关系。参与者(年龄在18 - 81岁之间)从大学(研究1:n = 125;研究2:n = 214)和在线样本(研究3:n = 351)中招募。在每项研究中,参与者完成了一份药物敏感性量表、用于评估SPS的标准高敏感人群(HSP)量表以及作为控制变量的消极情感性(NA)量表。所有三项研究均发现SPS与药物敏感性之间存在中度显著相关性(分别为r = 0.34,p < 0.001;r = 0.21,p = 0.003;r = 0.36,p < 0.001)。在控制NA和性别时,相关性仍然显著且相似;并且与性别不存在显著交互作用。总之,我们的结果表明,即使考虑到NA和性别,SPS也与药物敏感性相关。因此,未来的研究在调查推荐药物、药物剂量、疗效和药物不良反应时,可能会考虑SPS因素。
