Misophonia is an unpleasant condition, in which the feeling of excessive anger is triggered by specific sounds. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on anger in female students with misophonia.
A study based on a non-concurrent multiple baseline design was conducted in 2018 at the School of Education and Psychology, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz, Iran. Three female students aged 20-22 years were recruited using the multi-stage random sampling method. The study was conducted in three stages, namely baseline, intervention, and follow-up sessions. The Novaco anger questionnaire was used during the baseline sessions, intervention sessions (sessions three, six, and eight), and six weeks follow-up (two, four, and six weeks after the last intervention session). Data were analyzed using visual analysis, reliability change index (RCI), and recovery percentage formula.
CBT reduced the feeling of anger after the intervention and follow-up sessions. The recovery percentage at the end of the intervention sessions were 43.82, 42.28, and 9.09 for the first, second, and third participants, respectively.
The findings of the present study confirm the effectiveness of CBT in reducing the feeling of anger in female students with misophonia.
恐声症是一种不愉快的状况，其感觉过度愤怒是由特定的声音引发的。本研究的主要目的是调查认知行为疗法（CBT）对女性恐声症患者愤怒的有效性。
这是一项基于非同期多重基线设计的研究，于 2018 年在伊朗阿瓦兹沙希德·查姆兰大学教育与心理学学院进行。采用多阶段随机抽样法招募了 3 名年龄在 20-22 岁的女性学生。该研究分为基线期、干预期和随访期三个阶段进行。在基线期（第 1、2、3 次访谈）、干预期（第 3、6、8 次访谈）和 6 周随访期（最后一次干预后 2、4、6 周）均使用诺瓦克愤怒问卷（Novaco Anger Questionnaire）进行评估。采用视觉分析、可靠性变化指数（RCI）和恢复百分比公式对数据进行分析。
CBT 干预后和随访阶段降低了愤怒感。干预结束时，第 1、2、3 名参与者的恢复百分比分别为 43.82%、42.28%和 9.09%。
本研究结果证实，CBT 可有效降低女性恐声症患者的愤怒感。
