Purpose: This article describes a cross-cultural adaptation of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) to the adult Spanish population, and psychometric analysis of its validation and reliability.
Methods: Convenience sampling by participant accessibility was used. The original version was adapted culturally and linguistically using the back-translation method, and a pilot study was done with 88 participants. Data processing and analysis was performed with the SPSS v.25 and LISREL v.9.2 statistical packages. The psychometric properties were studied in a sample of 8358 participants using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, and examining factorial invariance and internal consistency.
Results: The results confirmed a Spanish version with 27 items in five-dimensions: sensitivity to overstimulation (SOS), aesthetic sensitivity (AES), low sensory threshold (LST), fine psychophysiological discrimination (FPD) and harm avoidance (HA). Invariance across gender of this factor structure was demonstrated and reliability indices were good.
Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that the HSPS is an appropriate tool for evaluating high sensitivity in the adult Spanish population.

Keywords: sensory processing sensitivity, sensitivity to overstimulation, aesthetic sensitivity, low sensory threshold, fine psychophysiological discrimination, harm avoidance

西班牙成人高敏感人群量表 (HSPS-S) 的跨文化适应和验证

目的：本文描述了高敏感人群量表 (HSPS) 对西班牙成年人口的跨文化适应，以及对其验证和可靠性的心理测量分析。
方法：使用参与者可访问性的便利抽样。原始版本使用反向翻译方法在文化和语言上进行了改编，并与 88 名参与者进行了试点研究。使用 SPSS v.25 和 LISREL v.9.2 统计软件包进行数据处理和分析。使用探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析，并检查因素不变性和内部一致性，在 8358 名参与者的样本中研究了心理测量特性。
结果：结果证实了西班牙版本的 27 个项目的五个维度：对过度刺激的敏感性 (SOS)、审美敏感性 (AES)、低感觉阈值 (LST)、精细的心理生理辨别 (FPD) 和避免伤害 (HA)。这种因素结构的性别不变性得到证明，可靠性指数良好。
结论：这些研究结果表明，HSPS 是评估西班牙成年人口的高敏感性的合适工具。
