感觉处理敏感性（SPS）是一种人格特质，反映个体间对负面和正面环境信息敏感性的差异。如果环境不利，SPS 水平较高会增加与压力相关的问题，但似乎也会增强一个人从促进健康的环境中受益的能力。因此，在理解 SPS 的过程中，我们就有可能创新促进心理健康的方式。然而，作为一个年轻的研究领域，SPS 的核心特征仍存在争议。采访高度敏感的成年人的定性研究对于开展与人类复杂现实相关的生态有效的研究非常重要。这项研究首次系统地报告了具有高 SPS 特征的成年人对 SPS 特征的看法和体验。半结构化访谈（n = 26）按照报告定性研究的综合标准进行了主题分析和描述。出现了六个主题：（1）情绪反应； (2) 与他人的关系； （3）思考； (4)过度刺激； (5)感知细节； (6)全局SPS特征。关于应对高 SPS 的负面后果，主要主题是：（1）减少感官输入和（2）心理策略。我们获得了有关高 SPS 成年人经历的详细信息，并得出了关于培养与高 SPS 相关的福祉的新假设。
Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a personality trait reflecting inter-individual differences in sensitivity to negative and positive environmental information. Being high in SPS is associated with increased stress-related problems if environments are unfavourable but also appears to enhance one’s ability to benefit from health-promoting environments. In understanding SPS, therefore, lies the potential for innovating the ways we use to promote mental health. However, as a young research field, the core characteristics of SPS are yet debated. Qualitative research interviewing highly sensitive adults is important to conduct ecologically valid research connected with the complex realities of people. This study was the first to systematically report the perceptions and experiences of SPS characteristics in adults high in this trait. Semi-structured interviews (n = 26) were analysed thematically and described following consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research. Six themes emerged: (1) emotional responding; (2) relatedness to others; (3) thinking; (4) overstimulation; (5) perceiving details; and (6) global SPS characteristics. With regards to coping with negative consequences of high SPS, the main themes were: (1) reducing sensory input and (2) psychological strategies. We gained fine-grained information on experiences of adults high in SPS and derived new hypotheses regarding the fostering of well-being related to high SPS.
