Resumen

La sensibilidad es un rasgo de la personalidad que todas las personas poseemos. Recibimos información sensorial, la procesamos y actuamos en función de nuestras características, los recursos ambientales y la calidad de la relación con el entorno. Sin embargo, los niveles de sensibilidad no son iguales en todos. Es frecuente que las personas con altas capacidades presenten altos niveles de sensibilidad y, por tanto, son más vulnerables a influencias externas. En este sentido, es importante llevar a cabo una evaluación de la sensibilidad, ya que esta juega un papel importante en la vida de las personas. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es validar la “Highly Sensitive Person Scale” al contexto español. Para responder a este objetivo se ha empleado una muestra de 524 jóvenes con edades entre 12 y 19 años pertenecientes a varios centros educativos de secundaria. Para analizar las propiedades psicométricas se llevó a cabo diferentes análisis: AFC, análisis de multigrupo, análisis estadístico-descriptivos y análisis de consistencia a través de alfa de Cronbach y análisis de datos con SPSS 19.0 y AMOS 19.0. Finalmente se realizó un Manova para determinar la influencia del género y del curso en la sensibilidad del alumnado. Los resultados han apoyado la validez y fiabilidad de la estructura del cuestionario, mostrándose invariante respecto al género. Respecto al curso, se vieron diferencias significativas, pero sin una tendencia clara, sin embargo, en el género se avala que las mujeres tienen mayores niveles de sensibilidad en los tres factores de la escala.
