What is the link between personality and food behavior?
2022, Current Research in Food ScienceCitation Excerpt :In clinical populations, there would appear to be a connection between the role played by various neurotransmitters on mood/personality and on gustatory sensory thresholds (Heath et al., 2006; Herbener et al., 1989). High levels of central norepinephrine have been hypothesized to influence both shyness and olfactory sensitivity (Herbener et al., 1989). Furthermore, sex-linked hormones such as testosterone have also been linked to personality attributes and food behaviours as well (Bègue et al., 2015).
Sensorimotor gating in healthy adults tested over a 15 year period
2017, Biological PsychologyCitation Excerpt :Studies have reported both qualitative and quantitative evidence of increased startle magnitude among high BI infants and children (Barker, Reeb-Sutherland, & Fox, 2014), as well as higher BI scores among children with blue vs. brown eye color (Rosenberg & Kagan 1989). Blue-eyed adults have also been reported to have higher reactivity and lower detection thresholds in response to a range of diferent sensory stimuli (Acosta, Alfaro, Borrás, Belmonte, & Gallar, 2006; Barrenas & Hellstrom, 1996; Henderson, Bond, & Simpson, 2005; Herbener, Kagan, & Cohen, 1989; Hood, Poole, & Freedman, 1976). In the present sample, eye color was recorded for 261 subjects, blind to hypothesis.
Sensory-processing sensitivity predicts performance on a visual search task followed by an increase in perceived stress
2012, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :Thus, a major goal of the present study was to (a) investigate potential differences in SPS with regard to the HSPS subscales, (b) further investigate whether individuals high in SPS process information more carefully and correctly, (c) use a larger sample size, and (d) use another behavioral task that allows for the differentiation between reaction times and error rates. Based on the research reported above and previous research in the domain of introversion that showed that introverts were more sensitive to low auditory frequencies (e.g., Stelmack & Campbell, 1974), pain (Schalling, 1971), and electrocutaneous (Edman, Schalling, & Rissler, 1979), olfactory (Herbener, Kagan, & Cohen, 1989), and visual thresholds (Siddle, Morrish, White, & Mangan, 1969), we decided to rely also on a visual detection task. Our task was a little bit more complex than the task used by Aron et al. (2010) but probably simpler than the task used by Jagiellowicz et al. (2011) because far more visual stimuli were used and a target had to be detected that was present in some trials but not in every trial (see also Dukewich & Klein, 2009).
