Sensory-processing sensitivity differentiates individuals according to responsivity to internal and external stimuli. It has been positively correlated with depressive symptoms. Meanwhile, sense of coherence, an individual’s perception that stressors are comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful for their life, could improve depression. This cross-sectional study investigated the moderation effect of sense of coherence on the relationship between sensory-processing sensitivity and depressive symptoms in university students. Japanese students (N = 430) participated in a questionnaire survey that assessed levels of sensory-processing sensitivity, sense of coherence, and depressive symptoms. The results showed that a strong sense of coherence moderated the relationship between sensory-processing sensitivity and depressive symptoms in university students.

感官加工敏感性和连贯感对大学生抑郁症状的影响

感官加工敏感性根据对内部和外部刺激的反应能力来区分个体。它与抑郁症状呈正相关。同时，一种连贯的感觉（个人认为压力源对于他们的生活而言是可理解的，可控的和有意义的）可以改善抑郁症。这项横断面研究调查了连贯感对大学生感官加工敏感性与抑郁症状之间关系的调节作用。日本学生（N = 430）参加了问卷调查，评估了感觉加工敏感性，连贯感和抑郁症状的水平。
