Abstract

Objective : The relationships between the AASP and KAD were examined. Methods : AASP and KAD were executed for 50 healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 26. KAD was conducted by requesting its execution from a professional company. KAD was carried out in April of 2008. AASPs were distributed directly to the participants and collected. Descriptive statistics were used for adult sensory processing, and a comparison of sensory processing styles of males and females was analyzed using an independent t-test. Relativity between the AASP and KAD were analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis. Results : As a result of the relationship between AASP and KAD, low sensory registration was negatively correlated with sentiment and emotion (p<.05). With leadership, sensory seeking was positively correlated, and sensory sensitivity was negatively correlated (p<.05). Conclusion : Passive behavioral responses associated with a high neurological threshold can be a factor disturbing the development of personal sentiment and emotion, and a low threshold can cause shyness and introverted tendencies. Also, active behavioral responses associated with a high neurological threshold can improve self-confidence and leadership. It can be confirmed that sensory processing can be an important factor affecting personality development.
