First the HSP (Highly sensitive persons) Scale developed by Elaine Aron and Arthur Aron, a video clip from ‘Fringe’ Series Season 3 Episode 3 was shown, then a questionnaire containing 16 items relevant to the video they witnessed. After two weeks of time interval, the questionnaire contained 16 items was administered with the questions interchanged from the first administered questionnaire that contained relevant items to the video they witnessed.
