Abstract Synopsis

  • This series of 7 studies identified a core trait called high sensory-processing sensitivity, which is mostly independent of traits like introversion and emotionality that it was previously confused with.
  • The research found that highly sensitive individuals can be divided into two groups: a smaller one with childhood unhappiness and related factors, and a larger group similar to others but with heightened sensitivity.
  • The study also confirmed that the 27-item Highly Sensitive Person Scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring this sensitivity trait.]
