最近的研究表明，表现出高度敏感性的人也表现出更高的兴趣受限和重复行为的比率和严重程度。这一系列研究几乎完全是通过照顾者的敏感性报告进行的。在这里，一个更严格的心理物理学范式被应用到评估感官敏感性和相关的超敏反应，以限制利益和重复行为。此外，收集了常用的感觉灵敏度问卷测量，以确定自我报告的测量是否准确反映了感觉灵敏度的行为测量。总共有90名典型的发展参与者完成了视觉检测任务，感觉处理的问卷测量以及限制兴趣和重复行为的测量。视觉敏感度，测量行为和问卷调查，是正相关的限制利益和重复行为。令人惊讶的是，通过行为和自我报告测量的视觉敏感度是无关的。此外，回归分析表明，虽然可以根据行为和自我报告的敏感性来预测有限的兴趣和重复行为，但这两个预测因素占有限兴趣和重复行为方差的不同部分。因此，虽然这些结果提供的证据支持感官灵敏度的贡献，有限的利益和重复的行为，这些结果也表明，行为和问卷测量的感官灵敏度测量两个不同的结构。我们假设行为测量测量感官灵敏度，而问卷测量实际上是测量感官反应。
Recent studies have suggested that individuals who exhibit heightened sensitivity also exhibit higher rates and severity of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. This line of research has been conducted almost exclusively through caregiver reports of sensitivity. Here, a more rigorous psychophysics paradigm was applied to assess sensory sensitivity and relate hypersensitivity to restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. In addition, commonly used questionnaire measures of sensory sensitivity were collected to determine if self-reported measures accurately reflect behavioural measures of sensory sensitivity. In all, 90 typically developing participants completed a visual detection task, a questionnaire measure of sensory processing and a measure of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. Visual sensitivity, measured both behaviourally and with questionnaires, is positively related to restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. Surprisingly, visual sensitivity as measured behaviourally and through self-report are unrelated. Furthermore, a regression analysis suggests that while restricted interests and repetitive behaviours can be predicted based on both behavioural and self-reported sensitivity, these two predictors account for different portions of the variance in restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. Thus, while these results provide evidence supporting the contribution of sensory sensitivity to restricted interests and repetitive behaviours, these results also indicate that behavioural and questionnaire measures of sensory sensitivity are measuring two distinct constructs. We hypothesize that behavioural measures are measuring sensory sensitivity, while questionnaires measures are in fact measuring sensory reactivity.
