Based on the literature, trichotillomania (TTM, chronic hair pulling) in children and adults appears to be responsive to behavioral interventions such as habit reversal. However, some have questioned the generality and acceptability of such procedures. This study compared the acceptability ratings of four interventions targeting TTM (habit reversal, hypnosis, medication, and punishment). In the study, 233 college students read case vignettes in which the age of the analogue client and the severity of the hair pulling were manipulated. Results showed significant differences between the four treatment conditions, with hypnosis and habit reversal being rated most acceptable. Age of the analogue client and severity of TTM did not significantly influence acceptability ratings.
根据文献，儿童和成人的拔毛癖（TTM，慢性拔毛）似乎对诸如习惯逆转等行为干预有反应。然而，一些人质疑此类程序的普遍性和可接受性。本研究比较了针对拔毛癖的四种干预措施（习惯逆转、催眠、药物治疗和惩罚）的可接受性评分。在该研究中，233名大学生阅读了案例 vignettes，其中模拟客户的年龄和拔毛的严重程度被操纵。结果显示四种治疗条件之间存在显著差异，催眠和习惯逆转被评为最可接受。模拟客户的年龄和拔毛癖的严重程度并未显著影响可接受性评分。
