The aim of the present study was to operationalize a Russian version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS). The empirical data were collected in two ways: active, through oral advertising and inviting those who wish to take part in the study (snowball technique) and passive (placement of ads about taking part in a research in social networks VKontakte and Facebook). As a result, 350 university students (117 men, 233 women, an average age of 18,2 (± 1,7) applied to a research laboratory and filled out the HSPS questionnaire, and another 510 respondents (380 women, 130 men, average age 22,6 ( ± 7,9) filled the HSPS online. The results of the study did not confirm the one-dimensional model of the construct, proposed by Aron & Aron (1997), as well as the most commonly used in the English-language studies three-factor solution. The hierarchical claster and confirmatory analyses used in the operationalization procedure allowed us to conclude that the variance of the Russian version of HSPS is best described in the framework of a two-factor model including the two separate subscales: Ease of Excitation (EOE), Low threshold of sensitivity (LTS). Sensory Processing Sensitivity may be defined as an increased susceptibility to external and internal stimuli, realized through negative emotional responses and deep susceptibility (distress) to excessive stimulation.

Целью настоящего исследования была операционализация русскоязычной версии «Шкалы чувствительности» (Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) (Aron, Aron, 1997). Эмпирические данные собирались двумя путями: активным, через устную рекламу и приглашение желающих принять участие в исследовании студентов (техника снежного кома) и пассивным (размещение объявления о наборе желающих принять участие в исследовании в социальных сетях ВКонтакте и Фейсбук). В исследовании приняли участие 860 респондентов: 350 студентов-добровольцев университета (117 мужчин, 233 женщины, средний возраст (18,2 ± 1,7) лет), и 510 пользователей социальных сетей (380 женщин, 130 мужчин, средний возраст (22,6 ± 7,9) лет). Результаты исследования не подтвердили предложенную E.N. Aron & A. Aron (1997) одномерную модель конструкта, также как и наиболее распространенное в англоязычных исследованиях трехфакторное решение. Использованные в процедуре операционализации иерархический кластерный и конфирматорный анализы позволили заключить, что чувствительность обработки сенсорной информации (SPS) может быть описана в рамках двухфакторной модели, включающей субшкалы «Легкость возбуждения», «Низкий порог чувствительности» и определяется как повышенная восприимчивость к внешним и внутренним стимулам, реализующаяся через негативные эмоциональные реакции и глубокую восприимчивость (дистресс) к чрезмерной стимуляции.
