This study investigated the relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and sensation seeking.
The sample consisted of 625 subjects ( women = 225, men = 400). Sensory processing sensitivity was assessed using the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), and sensation seeking with the Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking (AISS).
AISS accounted for 11.1% of the variance in HSPS. Regression analyses revealed a negative association between AISS Intensity and HSPS. There was no significant association between AISS Novelty and HSPS. Men exhibited lower scores on HSPS but displayed higher scores on AISS Novelty and AISS Intensity compared to women.
We found gender differences and a negative association between sensory processing sensitivity and the intensity dimension of sensation seeking. The results confirm that HSPS captures the intensity of complex sensory stimulation. Sensory processing sensitivity and sensation seeking could be seen as theoretically connected and overlapping phenomena.
本研究调查了感觉加工敏感性与感觉寻求之间的关系。
样本包括625名受试者（女性 = 225名，男性 = 400名）。使用高敏感人群量表（HSPS）评估感觉加工敏感性，并用阿尼特感觉寻求量表（AISS）评估感觉寻求。
AISS解释了HSPS中11.1%的方差。回归分析显示AISS强度与HSPS之间存在负相关。AISS新奇性与HSPS之间无显著关联。与女性相比，男性在HSPS上得分较低，但在AISS新奇性和AISS强度上得分较高。
我们发现了性别差异以及感觉加工敏感性与感觉寻求强度维度之间的负相关。结果证实HSPS捕捉了复杂感觉刺激的强度。感觉加工敏感性和感觉寻求可被视为理论上相关且重叠的现象。
