Experiences of Pregnancy

The Interaction between Sensory Processing Sensitivity and Recent Stressful Experiences in Prenatal Mental Health

SPS was found to be a vulnerability factor for depression during pregnancy, supporting the diathesis-stress model. Includes graphs showing interaction effects, a regression table, and summary of clinical implications.
