BACKGROUND The Adult-Adolescent Sensory Profile (AASP) is a questionnaire developed to measure the way in which people in different age groups respond to different sensory stimuli. These sensory stimuli may uncover different behavioral problems that may affect activities of daily living. This observational study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the AASP used to assess the sensory processing abilities of healthy individuals. METHODS Participants comprised 560 Jordanians aged 11 years and older. Participants were recruited from different community centers in Amman, Jordan during 10th March 2017 to 10th September 2017. The English version of the AASP was translated into Arabic and all participants were instructed to complete this version of the scale. RESULTS Internal consistency was 0.78 and 0.79 for the Arabic and the English version, respectively. The ranges of cut-off scores in the Arabic version were higher than the English version for all the quadrants of the scale. The biggest differences were found in the sensation seeking and sensory sensitivity quadrants. In certain age groups (11-17 and 18-64 years), women were more sensitive compared with men. CONCLUSION The Arabic version of the AASP showed good internal consistency and can be used to assess the sensory processing abilities of healthy individuals.

阿拉伯人口在青少年-成人感官方面的表现：一项观察性研究。

背景 成人-青少年感觉概况 (AASP) 是一种调查问卷，用于测量不同年龄组的人对不同感觉刺激的反应方式。这些感官刺激可能会发现可能影响日常生活活动的不同行为问题。这项观察性研究旨在验证用于评估健康个体感觉处理能力的阿拉伯文版本的 AASP。方法 参与者包括 560 名 11 岁及以上的约旦人。参与者于 2017 年 3 月 10 日至 2017 年 9 月 10 日从约旦安曼的不同社区中心招募。AASP 的英文版被翻译成阿拉伯语，并要求所有参与者完成此版本的量表。结果 阿拉伯文和英文版的内部一致性分别为 0.78 和 0.79，分别。在量表的所有象限中，阿拉伯语版本的截止分数范围均高于英语版本。在感觉寻求和感觉敏感象限中发现了最大的差异。在某些年龄组（11-17 岁和 18-64 岁），女性比男性更敏感。结论 阿拉伯文版本的 AASP 表现出良好的内部一致性，可用于评估健康个体的感觉处理能力。
