HSP-Test für Hochsensibilität
Short abstract
The HSP Test for Highly Sensitive Persons measures high sensitivity with 24 items on the three underlying factors "Ease of Excitation" (EOE), "Low Sensory Threshold" (LST), and "High Sensitivity" (HSE). Reliability: The reliability of the scales in the long form lies between Cronbach's alpha = .79 and alpha = .85; the values for the short form are somewhat lower. The reliability of the scales in the long form lies between Cronbach's alpha = .79 and alpha = .85; the values for the short form are somewhat lower. Validity: Factorial validity was tested in a large sample (n = 65 280) using confirmatory factor analysis. In addition, expectancy-compliant interscale correlations and expectancy-compliant correlations with childhood experiences and behavioral criteria were found.
