Abstract in brief

  • This article reviews the concept of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) by examining its biological basis and how it relates to personality differences in humans and animals, particularly focusing on environmental responsiveness.
  • It explores animal personality research to understand how traits like reactivity and sensitivity influence behavior depending on the environment, and discusses human personality studies that show how certain traits may lead to positive or negative outcomes based on the context.
  • Finally, the review highlights research supporting the SPS model, including the development of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) scale, and neuroimaging and genetic studies that suggest SPS is linked to biological responsiveness in humans.
