Unatoč teorijskim sličnostima anksiozne, okolinske i osjetljivosti na potkrepljenja, izrazito je malen broj istraživanja koja su proučavala odnos različitih vrsta osjetljivosti. Stoga je cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio detaljnije ispitati međusobni odnos navedenih vrsta osjetljivosti. Provedena je eksploratorna faktorska analiza metodom glavnih komponenata nad česticama iz tri upitnika osjetljivosti: Ljestvice bihevioralne inhibicije i aktivacije (BIS/BAS ljestvica), Indeksa anksiozne osjetljivosti-3 (ASI-3) te Ljestvice osjetljivosti na okolinu za odrasle (HSP-12). Identificirano je sedam faktora prvog reda (neugodna pobuđenost, tjelesne brige, strah od nepovoljnih ishoda, osjetljivost na nagradu, nagon, traženje zabave i estetska osjetljivost) te tri faktora drugog reda (bihevioralni inhibicijski sustav (BIS), bihevioralni aktivacijski sustav (BAS) i osjetljivost na ugodu (OU)). Faktori neugodna pobuđenost, tjelesne brige i strah od nepovoljnih ishoda grupiraju se u nadređeni faktor BIS-a. Faktori osjetljivost na nagradu i estetska osjetljivost čine nadređeni faktor UO-a. Faktori nagon i traženje zabave čine nadređeni faktor BAS-a. Varijanca manifestnih varijabli objašnjena sa sedam faktora nižeg reda iznosi 51.6%, dok faktori drugog reda objašnjavaju 68% varijance identificiranih faktora što govori o važnosti faktora i prvog i drugog reda u objašnjenju varijabiliteta osjetljivosti. Despite theoretical similarities of the Anxiety, Environmental and Reinforcement Sensitivity, there is a very small amount of research studying the relationship between different types of sensitivity. Therefore, the aim of this graduation thesis was to examine in more detail the interrelationship between mentioned sensitivity types. An exploratory factor analysis using the principal components method was performed on 50 items from three sensitivity questionnaires: BIS/BAS scales, Anxiety Sensitivity Index - 3 (ASI-3) and short version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSP-12). Research identified seven first-order factors (Unpleasant Arousal, Physical Concerns, Fear of Negative Outcomes, Reward Sensitivity, Drive, Fun Seeking and Aesthetic Sensitivity) and three second-order factors (Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS), Behavioral Activation System (BAS) and Pleasant Sensitivity (PS)). The factors Unpleasant Arousal, Physical Concerns and Fear of Negative Outcomes grouped together into the second-order factor of BIS. The factors Reward Sensitivity and Aesthetic Sensitivity grouped into the second-order factor of PS. The factors Drive and Fun Seeking grouped into the second-order factor of BAS. Seven first-order factors explain 51.6% of variance, while second-order factors explain 68% of variance of identified factors, which speaks of the importance of both the first and the second-order factors in explaining the variability observed in the sensitivity data.

The aim of this study is to test different types of interventions for improving/teaching actively open-minded thinking (AOT). We test two types of interventions - one using a newly-developed serious game (gamified intervention), and the other using an online educational module (online module intervention).
