High Sensitivity to Interpersonal Interaction: Development of a Measurement.

Interpersonal sensitivity is an aspect of Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) that has been unexplored precisely despite potentially playing an even more significant role in individuals with SPS. The results of various studies on individuals with SPS suggest that this trait is accompanied by a high interpersonal sensitivity, which refers to an increased sensitivity to the emotional states of individuals with whom one interacts; however, no measurement instrument directly evaluates it. This research aimed to develop an instrument to assess high interpersonal sensitivity and analyze its psychometric properties.

Psychometric properties of the Gaudiebility (Enjoyment modulators) Scale for Adults of Morelia (GSAM).

Gaudiebility refers to the set of modulators that regulate the enjoyment experienced, there is only one scale to assess gaudiebility, and it is univariate, which is not congruent with the construct. Therefore, this work's objective was to build a multifactorial scale and study the psychometric properties of the Gaudiebility Scale for Adults of Morelia (GSAM). 1,884 adults participated; 273 in the pilot study and 1,611 in the final study.

Psychometric Properties Of The Highly Sensitive Person Scale In Mexican Population.

Major Depressive Disorder in recovery and neuropsychological functioning: effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and dual inhibitor depression treatments on residual cognitive deficits in patients with Major Depressive Disorder in recovery.

Introduction: Cognitive disturbances in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) could persist beyond the symptomatic phase of the illness. However, the works addressing this topic did not usually account for the possible impact of medication on the cognitive functions of depressed patients. The present study aims to investigate whether MDD patients in remission treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) or dual serotonergic-noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) show cognitive deficits, to study whether the same patients suffer neuropsychological disturbances when they are unmedicated and in recovery phase, and if the previous pharmacological treatment used to achieve the remission of MDD clinical symptoms had any effect in the profile of these patients' cognitive performance in the recovery phase.
