To Researchers If you wish to use the HSP Scale for research purposes, see Tips for Researchers. You may download the measure here. (You must obtain permission from the American Psychological Association in the case of the HSP Scale, the scale version here, and Kensington Press in the case of the Self-Test, the true-false version, before you put these on a website or publish them. They will ask you to provide the copyright information.) Below are the articles authored by me and my collaborators. An overview that includes related articles by other authors is in the 2012 PSPR review below. As that becomes out of date you can find the latest articles by searching PsychInfo for “sensitivity” or “sensory processing sensitivity” as well as related ideas such as "biological sensitivity to context” and “orienting sensitivity.” (Note that Sensory Processing Disorder or Sensory Integration Disorder is not related to what is measured by the HSP Scale or the general construct of Sensory Processing Sensitivity, the concept described here, which is a normal temperament variation found in 20% of the population and, by itself, does not cause impairment or distress.)
