RESUMEN SIMPOSIO

Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS): A systematic review.

Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), it is considered a genetically determined personality trait characterized by sensitivity to both internal and external stimuli, including social and emotional cues (Jagiellowicz et al; 2011). Pioneer studies (Aaron and Aaron, 1997) showed SPS as a unidimensional personality trait independent from social introversion and negative affectivity. This over-sensibility, specially in children, should be attending as can be both a protecting factor and a risk factor for dysfunctional behaviour or motivational emotional problems in adult life. Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) have been using as objective measure on individual differences in sensory-processing sensitivity. The present symposia will cover the state-of-the-art of this personality trait as part of an international project aimed to develop an interactive tool for families and teachers preventing from social exclusion given teachers a model to work with these children at classes as well as given families answer to the question of how to support and improve early childhood education and care.
