(2018) PSYK11 20191Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie vara att undersöka den högkänsliga personens subjektiva upplevelser av livet innan- och efter insikten om personlighetsdraget. Tillkommande frågeställningar som studerades, var även de positiva och negativa aspekterna av personlighetsdraget. Studiens metodologiska utgångspunkt var av den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen. Intervjuer hölls med sju deltagare som upplevde sig själva vara högkänsliga. Resultatet visade tydligt de olika karaktärsdrag den högkänsliga personligheten besitter. Den djupa bearbetningen, tendensen till överstimulering, förmågan att känna av det subtila samt den empatiska förmågan. De olika förmågorna visade enligt resultat, innebära både positiva och negativa aspekter för deltagarna. Den negativa... (More)

Tillkommande frågeställningar som studerades, var även de positiva och negativa aspekterna av personlighetsdraget. Studiens metodologiska utgångspunkt var av den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen. Intervjuer hölls med sju deltagare som upplevde sig själva vara högkänsliga. Resultatet visade tydligt de olika karaktärsdrag den högkänsliga personligheten besitter. Den djupa bearbetningen, tendensen till överstimulering, förmågan att känna av det subtila samt den empatiska förmågan. De olika förmågorna visade enligt resultat, innebära både positiva och negativa aspekter för deltagarna. Den negativa aspekten tycktes för majoriteten tillkomma vid överstimuleringen och vid för stor användning av de andra karaktärsdragen. I resultatet framkom att det tycks vara av stor vikt att finna balans i livet och minska överstimulering. Deltagarnas tekniker för det visade sig vara återhämtning, gränssättning samt en större medvetenhet kring de egna känslorna. Forskning och kunskapsspridning genom studier anses viktiga att utföra då 15–20 procent av befolkningen är högkänsliga. Utifrån resultatet upplevs högkänsliga kunna bidra med kvalitéer som icke-högkänsliga eventuellt inte har lika lätt för, och tvärtom. Med en ökad medvetenhet och kunskapsspridning kring personlighetsdraget, ökar chanserna för att både högkänsliga och icke-högkänsliga kan ta del av, förstå och lära av varandra. (Less)
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the highly sensitives persons subjective experiences in life before- and after the knowledge about the personality character. Additional questions also studied the positive and negative aspects of the highly sensitive person. The studies methodological framework is based on the qualitative content analysis. The interviews where held with seven participants who experienced themselves as highly sensitive. The result strongly revealed the four characteristics that the personality character owns. The deep processing, the tendency to be overstimulated, the capacity for the subtle and the strong empathy. The different characteristics revealed both positive and negative aspects for the participants. The... (More)

The interviews where held with seven participants who experienced themselves as highly sensitive. The result strongly revealed the four characteristics that the personality character owns. The deep processing, the tendency to be overstimulated, the capacity for the subtle and the strong empathy. The different characteristics revealed both positive and negative aspects for the participants. The negative aspects seemed to be for many of the participants, when they were either overwhelmed or when they used the other characteristics for too long. The result also revealed that it was important to find balance, and by that in different ways reduce the tendency to be overstimulated. The participants did this through recovery techniques, boundary settings and with an awareness of their own emotional states. It is estimated that 15-20 percent of the population is highly sensitive and therefore it is important that research is made and knowledge is spread about it. The result indicates that the highly sensitive person can contribute with qualities that doesn`t come as easily as for the non-highly sensitive, and the other way around. With a broader awareness and knowledge about the highly sensitive persons characteristics, it is more likely that the two of them can learn, understand and cooperate better. (Less)
