Sensory-Processing Sensitivity, dispositional mindfulness and negative psychological symptoms (2012, background): “…it has been suggested that high-SPS individuals, among other things: organise their home environment so as to minimise their sensory experiences (Dunn, 2001); tend to be social introverts (Aron, 2004); are more likely to experience depression and anxiety (Liss, Timmel, Baxley, & Killingsworth,…”
The Relationship between Sensory Processing Difficulties and Anxiety Level of Healthy Adults (2011, methodology): “This aim was derived from previous literature on consistent patterns of personality and sensory processing reported among children and adults, which emphasised the need to improve understanding of how these constructs interact (Dunn 2001).”
Exploring the Relationship between Affect and Sensory Processing Patterns in Adults (2011, background): “Based on this, Dunn (2001) suggested relevant implications for intervention programmes and argued that in intervention programmes, ‘individuals should not be perceived as “doomed” to experiencing distress and fear if they have a high degree of negative affect’ (p615).”
Sensory processing sensitivity and its relation to parental bonding, anxiety, and depression (2005, background): “Literature in the occupational therapy field has found sensory processing sensitivity (utilizing a different measure developed by Dunn, 2001) to be related to anxiety (Kinnealey & Fuiek, 1999).”
Relationships between sensory processing style, adult attachment, and coping (2005, methodology): “Individuals classified as sensory sensitive or sensory avoidant theoretically both have a low threshold (Dunn, 2001), which is consistent with the positive correlation between these groups.”
Examining sensory quadrants in autism (2007, methodology): “Sensation Avoidance is a combination of low thresholds and active responding (Dunn, 2001).”
The Impact of an Allotment Group on Mental Health Clients' Health, Wellbeing and Social Networking (2003, background): “Furthermore, many people adopt ‘techniques’ for guarding against excitation, such as passivity or developing limited daily routines with predictable, ‘safe’ sensory input (Dunn 2001).”
Supporting Children to Participate Successfully in Everyday Life by Using Sensory Processing Knowledge (2007, background): “Each pattern is unique, and represents one extreme of the threshold and self-regulation continua (Dunn, 1997, 2001).”
The relationships between sensory processing sensitivity, alexithymia, autism, depression, and anxiety (2008, background): “Individuals may process sensory information differently (Aron & Aron, 1997; Dunn, 2001).”
