“…On the one hand, studies disagree on the extent to which gender plays a role in the emergence of MPA (Dempsey & Comeau, 2019;Kenny, Driscoll, & Ackermann, 2014;Papageorgi, 2022;Robson & Kenny, 2017;Ryan 2004). On the other hand, research suggests that females are supposed to display higher traits of SPS (Herzberg et al, 2021). Considering an overrepresentation of the female gender in this sample and gender-related differences in the sensitivity trait, one needs to be cautious when generalizing these findings.…”

“…While some people are more sensitive than others, SPS is thought to be a temperamental trait, manifested in our genes and associated with greater brain activity related to, for example, attention, awareness, self-other processing, and empathy (Acevedo, 2020;Acevedo et al, 2014). In a recent study, it was shown that females tend to be more sensitive than men and that sensitivity seemed to increase with age (Herzberg et al, 2021). Although SPS tends to affect only 20% to 31% of the population (Konrad, 2020;Lionetti et al, 2018), Aron (1997) stated that highly sensitive people often choose creative professions, such as writing, philosophy, or art.…”

“…As a next step, it would be useful to extend the current findings by addressing other sample demographics and music-related characteristics in more detail and in coherence to the examined variables. There is evidence that sensi tivity increases with age and that great musicians end their musical career because of experiencing excessive levels of MPA (Fernholz et al, 2019;Herzberg et al, 2021). There is further indication that years of musical training and accomplishments seem to only have little influence on MPA's emergence (Kenny, 2011).…”

Music performance anxiety (MPA) is described as a complex phenomenon that arises through an interplay of environmental and personal factors. While previous research has found links between early life experiences and personality traits, the causes and the development of MPA remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the role of parenting style and sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) to better understand the causes of MPA. In total, 342 musicians between 18 and 65 years old, active in diverse musical genres in Germany and Austria, were analyzed in the final sample. The abbreviated German version of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI-24) was used to measure MPA. Parenting style was assessed retrospectively using the German version of the Measure of Parenting Style (MOPS) entitled Fragebogen Dysfunktionaler Elterlicher Beziehungsstile (FDEB). To measure the temperamental trait SPS, the German version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS-G) was used. Correlations were calculated to determine the relationships between parenting style and SPS in regard to MPA. Moreover, a moderation analysis was run to examine the interactive effect of parenting style and SPS on MPA. Although no interaction effect was found, the results indicate that abusive and over-controlling parenting as well as enhanced sensitivity may operate as risk factors for experiencing MPA. The present outcomes contribute to a better understanding of MPA and may facilitate supporting performers’ psychological well-being.

Individual differences in sensory processing sensitivity amplify effects of post-learning activity for better and for worse

Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a biologically-based trait associated with greater reactivity to both positive and negative environments. Recent studies suggest that the activity following learning can support or hinder memory retention. Here, we employed a within-subject experiment to examine whether and how individual differences in SPS contribute to differences in memory retention. Sixty-four participants encoded and immediately recalled two word lists: one followed by 8-min of eyes-closed, wakeful resting; and the other by a distraction task. After 7 days, participants completed a surprise free recall test for both word lists. If participants wakefully rested after encoding, memory retention increased as a function of higher SPS. However, in the distraction condition, a negative curvilinear relationship indicated that memory retention was especially hindered for highly sensitive individuals. These results suggest that individual differences in SPS are an important factor to consider when examining the effects of environmental conditions on learning and memory.

High sensitivity groups with distinct personality patterns: a person-centered perspective

IntroductionSensory-processing sensitivity (SPS) refers to interindividual differences in sensitivity to positive and negative environmental stimuli and reflects the concept of differential susceptibility. The Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) has been utilized to capture the multifaceted experiences of highly sensitive individuals. The scale’s total score (i.e., the sum of the subfactors) is an indicator of high sensitivity. However, it cannot differentiate between the contributions of the specific subfactors. Consequently, interpreting the total score cannot help resolve the current theoretical debate about how individuals integrate the positive and negative aspects of sensitivity, whereas a multidimensional profile should be able to offer a more comprehensive understanding. Intriguingly, in variable-centered research, the subfactors’ differential associations with external constructs in negative or positive trait spaces have suggested heterogeneity (i.e., interindividual differences) among highly sensitive individuals. Thus, person-centered approaches should be better suited to address this heterogeneity.MethodsTo explore heterogeneity within the highly sensitive population, we conducted a three-step Latent Profile Analysis in two independent German-speaking samples (N = 1,102; N = 526). Subsequently, we employed the Five-Factor Model of personality to provide a detailed description of the latent sensitivity groups.ResultsBeyond the frequently identified quantitative three-class differentiation of sensitivity groups, we obtained a four-class model that included two qualitatively different high-sensitivity groups, each displaying distinct HSPS subfactor and personality patterns that corresponded to prototypical personality profiles. Within these high sensitivity groups, (i) the Confident Sensitivity Group exhibited average Neuroticism, significantly above-average Openness, and slightly above-average Extraversion. By contrast, (ii) the Vulnerable Sensitivity Group displayed the typical personality pattern of significantly above-average Neuroticism, below-average Extraversion, and slightly above-average Openness. Personality analyses revealed that features such as passiveness, internalizing tendencies, giftedness, and aesthetics, often commonly ascribed to all highly sensitive individuals, are features that differ across distinct sensitivity groups.DiscussionTo avoid over- or underestimating sensitivity effects, future research should consider these interindividual differences in highly sensitive individuals. For instance, studies could focus on the different associations of sensitivity groups with abilities, health aspects, emotion regulation and intervention outcomes, taking into account the different environmental factors that shape the type of sensitivity.
