É no âmbito do projeto e linha investigação denominada de: “Alta sensibilidade de Processamento Sensorial e variáveis Psicossociais” que surge a presente dissertação, cujo principal escopo é o tema Alta Sensibilidade de Processamento Sensorial (ASPS). A génese e o seu percurso na procura da cientificidade é ainda curto e pouco fundamentado, o que objetiva rever sequencialmente, a nível temporal, o percurso da ASPS, bem como apresentar, explorar e analisar evolução deste constructo. Estes objetivos foram atingidos através de uma revisão teórica global e sequencial de artigos científicos relativos ao tema. Nesta linha, e face à atualidade, à pertinência e à importância crescente deste tema, os objetivos empíricos, focam-se no estudo do constructo e uma possível associação com as variáveis psicossociais Agressão e Ansiedade, como forma de predizer e essencialmente compreender a importância de alguns fatores quando nos deparamos com uma pessoa altamente sensível.
De forma a atingir os objetivos empíricos propostos definiu-se e executou-se um estudo quantitativo, comparativo e transversal, recorrendo-se a uma amostra por conveniência, cujos dados foram recolhidos de online, foi dividido em duas partes principais, inicialmente foi apresentado um questionário sociodemográfico, de seguida foi apresentada uma segunda parte composta pelas escalas em estudo Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI). A amostra é constituída por 969 participantes, dos quais 325 são homens (33.5%) e 644 são mulheres (66.5%), com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 65 anos de idade. Os principais resultados obtidos no estudo encontraram associações positivas entre a ASPS e as variáveis agressão e ansiedade. Posteriormente, através do estudo do comportamento da ASPS como preditora das variáveis independentes, foi possível observar uma percentagem significativa da predição da variância das variáveis agressão e ansiedade. No que concerne às variáveis sociodemográficas em estudo, foram encontradas diferenças no que remete para o género, tendo as mulheres valores mais elevados que os homens; na variável idade diferenças estatisticamente significativas não foram encontradas. De um modo geral, à exceção da variável idade, todos os resultados encontrados foram ao encontro, ou pelo menos, conseguiram ser interpretados, à luz da teoria e referenciais teóricos explorados bem como de outros estudos prévios. Os resultados obtidos com esta dissertação salientam a atualidade, a importância e a relevância do estudo da ASPS, devido ao seu potencial papel como preditor do funcionamento em diversas esferas da vida do ser humano.
It is within the project and line of research called: "High Sensitivity of Sensory Processing and Psychosocial Variables" which emerges the present dissertation, whose main scope is the High Sensitivity Sensory Processing (HSSP). The genesis and its path in the pursuit of scientificity is still short and not well founded, which aims to sequentially revise, in a temporal way, the course of the HSPS, as well as present, explore and analyze the evolution of this construct. These objectives were achieved through a global and sequential theoretical review of scientific papers on the subject. In this line, and in view of the relevance and increasing importance of this theme, the empirical objectives focus on the study of the construct and a possible association with the psychosocial variables Aggression and Anxiety as a way of predicting and essentially understand the importance of some factors when we come across a highly sensitive person. To achieve the proposed empirical objectives, a quantitative, comparative and cross-sectional study was defined and executed using a convenience sample, whose data was collected online, and divided into two main parts. First, a sociodemographic questionnaire, followed by a second part composed by the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) and Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI) scales. With the statistical analysis of the data of the sample, constituted by 969 participants, of which 325 are men (33.5%) and 644 are women (66.5%), aged between 18 and 65 years of age. The main results obtained in the study found positive associations between ASPS and the variables Aggression and Anxiety. Subsequently, through a study of ASPS behavior as a predictor of the independent variables, it was possible to observe a significant percentage of the prediction of the variance of the variables Aggression and Anxiety. Regarding the sociodemographic variables under study, differences were found in what refers to gender, with women having higher values than men; in the variable age, statistically significant differences were not found. In general, except for the variable age, all the results found were expected, regarding the literature review that was conducted. The results obtained with this dissertation highlight the relevance of the ASPS study, due to its potential role as a predictor of the functioning in different spheres of human life.
