University students often experience depressive symptoms, and strengthening of life skills may be beneficial for improving their mental health. Several studies have suggested that life skills effective in reducing depressive tendencies vary by individuals depending on differences in sensory processing sensitivity (SPS). SPS is a genetically determined trait characterized by sensitivity and reactivity to environmental stimuli. This study investigated the relationship between life skills and depressive tendencies based on individual differences in SPS. A total of 868 Japanese university students (mean age = 19.8 years,SD= 1.3 years) completed a questionnaire measuring levels of SPS—decision‐making, interpersonal relationships, effective communication, and emotional coping skills—and depressive tendencies. Hierarchical multiple regression and simple slopes analyses indicated that interpersonal relationship skills were negatively correlated with depression regardless of SPS levels. Furthermore, decision‐making skills were negatively correlated with depressive tendencies only in low‐SPS students. Emotional coping skills were negatively correlated with depressive tendencies in high‐SPS students. These results may help universities incorporate SPS levels when creating life‐skills‐based interventions for students.
