To answer our main question about the relation between sensitivity to weak stimuli and reactivity to strong stimuli, we examined the partial correlations between ATQ orienting sensitivity and the perceptual reactivity scales (ATQ discomfort and ATQ HIP). The correlation between ATQ orienting sensitivity and ATQ discomfort was controlled for ATQ HIP and the correlation between ATQ orienting sensitivity and ATQ HIP was controlled for ATQ discomfort. We carried out the same analyses replacing ATQ orienting sensitivity with the masked auditory threshold.
