Abstract in brief

The study found that environmental sensitivity (ES) in adolescents has a heritable component, with about 47% of the variation in sensitivity due to genetics, indicating that people differ in how strongly they respond to their experiences.
The genetic factors influencing sensitivity to negative experiences are different from those affecting sensitivity to positive experiences, suggesting that ES is made up of multiple genetically influenced components rather than a single trait.
The research also showed that sensitivity is genetically related to personality traits like neuroticism and extraversion, but these traits are influenced by both shared genetics and individual environmental factors, highlighting a complex genetic and environmental interplay.
