How High Sensitivity Drives Sustainability: the Power of Awe and Nature Connectedness
Highly sensitive people are more connected with nature. In this study we show that awe, the admiration for nature, is an important factor in this connection.
We also demonstrate that higher sensitivity leads to more pro-environmental behaviours through nature connectedness and the capacity to value the future consequences of actions.
“No one likes me or wants to play with me!” Do highly sensitive adolescents feel peer acceptance and rejection more intensely?
Peers play a crucial role in the social lives of adolescents, but peer experiences may affect some adolescents more strongly than others.
In a study involving 1,207 adolescents, we revealed that adolescents who scored high on sensitivity felt better after imagining acceptance by peers but worse after imagining rejection by peers compared to their less sensitive counterparts.
