Abstract Synopsis

  • Vantage sensitivity is a theoretical framework suggesting that individual differences in environmental sensitivity impact how people respond to psychological treatments, with some benefiting more due to heightened sensitivity to external stimuli.
  • Research supports this idea by showing that genetic, physiological, and psychological traits influence treatment outcomes, and that sensitivity can be quickly assessed using a short questionnaire to predict who will respond best to interventions.
  • Applying the vantage sensitivity framework in psychiatry and clinical psychology could lead to better understanding of treatment effectiveness, helping tailor interventions to individuals based on their unique sensitivity profiles.
