Aron is known for research into sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) as graphically summarized by Greven et al. (review article, 2019).[1] A person with a high measure of SPS is said to be a highly sensitive person (HSP).[2][3]

Elaine N. Aron is a clinical research psychologist and author.[4]

Aron has published numerous books and scholarly articles about inherited temperament and interpersonal relationships,[5] especially on the subject of sensory processing sensitivity, beginning with The Highly Sensitive Person (1996),[6] which has sold over a million copies.[7]

Education

Aron graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Berkeley, and later earned an Master of Arts in clinical psychology from York University (Toronto) and a Ph.D. in clinical depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute (Santa Barbara, California).[5][8] She interned at the C. G. Jung Institute in San Francisco.[5]

Professional practice and personal life

Aron maintains a psychotherapy practice in Mill Valley, California.[8]

Aron is married to SUNY-Stony Brook psychology professor Arthur Aron, with whom she collaborates in studies of the interaction of childhood environment with SPS in predicting adult functioning.[9] In nearly 50 years of studying love, the couple developed a 36-question list, since used in hundreds of studies, to create closeness in a lab setting, to break down barriers between strangers, and improve understanding between police officers and community members.[10]
