感觉加工敏感度(SPS)是描述个体对环境刺激的敏感度和反应性差异的基本特征。西方国家的研究表明，人们可以分为高、中、低三个敏感组，并探讨了它们的特点。这项研究调查了在西方研究中发现的结果是否可以在日本样本中重复。两个日本大学生样本，即样本A(n= 1257)和样本B(n= 720)参与了基于问卷的调查。在这两个样本中，他们的SPS水平都是使用日本版的高敏感人量表进行评估的。此外，仅在样本B中，使用日本版的行为抑制系统/行为激活系统(BIS/BAS)量表和积极和消极影响量表来评估他们的气质和情感。一系列潜在分类分析表明，三类模型与数据的拟合效果最好。每一组可分别解释为高、中、低SPS组。此外，从BIS/BAS水平以及积极和消极影响两个方面探讨了每组的特点。方差分析表明，日本样本中的各个敏感组与西方样本具有相似的特征。尽管有几个问题需要解决，但西方研究的大部分发现是可以复制的。
Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) is a basic trait to describe individual differences in sensitivity and reactivity to environmental stimuli. Studies in Western countries have suggested that people fall into the three sensitivity groups, namely high-, medium-, and low-SPS groups and explored their characteristics. This study investigated whether the results found in Western studies can be replicated in Japanese samples. Two samples of Japanese university students, namely Sample A (n= 1257) and Sample B (n= 720), participated in a questionnaire-based survey. In both samples their SPS levels were assessed using the Japanese version of Highly Sensitive Person Scale. Additionally, only in Sample B their temperament and affect were assessed using the Japanese version of the Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. A series of latent class analysis indicated that the three-class model fitted best with the data. Each group could be interpreted as a high-, medium-, and low-SPS group, respectively. Furthermore, the characteristics of each group were explored considering the levels of BIS/BAS and positive and negative affect. Analyses of variance suggested that each sensitivity group in the Japanese samples had similar characteristics as those in Western samples. Although several issues should be addressed, most of the findings from Western studies could be replicated.
