在生物环境敏感性（BSC）理论的指导下，这项多方法的纵向研究试图检验家庭环境如何与儿童感官处理敏感性（SPS）的发展相关。参与者是235名幼儿（第一次测量时M年龄= 2.97,55.3%是女孩）和他们的父母（家庭年收入中位数：55,000至74,999美元），他们被跟踪了两次年度测量。这些儿童中白人占56.2%，非裔美国人占21.3%，混血儿占16.2%。儿童SPS是通过在两个波的多个实验室任务中的行为观察来测量的，并且随着时间的推移表现出适度的稳定性。环境严酷程度与儿童SPS变化呈曲线关系，这与平衡计分卡理论假设的u型模式一致。在低水平和高水平的环境恶劣程度下，儿童的SPS在一年内保持相似水平，但在中等水平的环境恶劣程度下，SPS有所下降。对SPS变化的发展意义的后续探索表明，SPS高的儿童通过发展更大的认知和行为功能从支持性环境中获益更多。
Informed by the biological sensitivity to the context (BSC) theory, this multimethod, longitudinal study sought to examine how family context may be associated with the development of child sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) over a year. Participants were 235 young children (M age= 2.97 at the first measurement occasion, 55.3% were girls) and their parents (median annual household income: $55,000 to 74,999), who were followed for two annual measurement occasions. These children consisted of 56.2% White, 21.3% African American, and 16.2% mixed race. Child SPS was measured via behavioral observation within multiple laboratory tasks at both waves and exhibited moderate stability over time. A curvilinear association between environmental harshness and the change in child SPS emerged, which proved consistent with the U-shaped pattern hypothesized by the BSC theory. Children remain at similar levels of SPS over the year under low and high levels of environmental harshness but exhibited decreases in SPS under moderate levels of environmental harshness. A follow-up exploration for the developmental implication of SPS change showed that children with higher SPS benefited more from the supportive environment by developing greater cognitive and behavioral functioning.
