| Abstract | English This study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the Icelandic translation of the Highly Sensitive Persona Scale (HSPS) in a sample of 98 undergratuate psychology students at the University of Reykjavik. In addition, to examine the factor structure of the HSPS and its relationship to the Big Five personality traits. The HSPS is a self-report 27-item that was developed to measure individual differences in Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), a personality trait associated with sensitivity to social, emotional and physical stimuli. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the data did not provide a good fit for factor analysis. The total HSPS demonstrated good internal reliablitiy. Pearson ́s correlational analysis showed that the HSPS were significantly associated with Neuroticism, Extraversion and Openness to Experience. Correlation between the HSPS and Conscientiousness and Agreeableness was not significant. |
