感官加工敏感性（SPS）是一种对感官信息加工较深、易受过度刺激、情绪反应性较强、对细微刺激意识较强的气质特征。许多对西方样本的研究都将SPS和/或其三个组成部分（即低感觉阈值[LST]、容易兴奋[EOE]和审美敏感性[AES]）与五大人格特征联系起来，但文化因素可能会影响这些关系。本研究调查了一个日本样本（N= 1,626）来调查这些关联。双变量相关分析发现，AES与神经质呈弱负相关，与开放性（强）、外向性、宜人性（中等）、尽责性（弱）呈正相关。LST和EOE与神经质呈极显著正相关，与其他4个性状呈中度负相关或弱相关。典型相关分析显示，构式之间的共性约为55%。虽然有些结果与以前的研究结果一致，但有些结果却不一致。与西方样本研究相反的结果可能由集体主义和个人主义文化的差异、生物学差异和/或测量弱点来解释。
Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a temperament trait characterized by deeper processing of sensory information, being easily overstimulated, stronger emotional reactivity, and more awareness of subtle stimuli. Many studies on Western samples have associated SPS and/or its three components (ie, low sensory threshold [LST], ease of excitation [EOE], and aesthetic sensitivity [AES]) with the Big Five personality traits, but cultural factors may influence these relationships. This study surveyed a Japanese sample (N= 1,626) to investigate the associations. Bivariate correlation analyses found that AES had a negatively weak correlation with neuroticism, while it was positively correlated with openness (strongly), extraversion, agreeableness (moderately), and conscientiousness (weakly). LST and EOE had strong positive correlations with neuroticism and moderate negative or weak correlations with the other four traits. The canonical correlation analysis revealed commonality between the constructs of about 55%. While some results were consistent with those of the former studies, others were not. The results contrary to studies on Western samples might be explained by the differences between collectivist and individualist cultures, biological differences, and/or measurement weaknesses.
