Misophonia is characterized by decreased tolerance and accompanying defensive motivational system responding to certain aversive sounds and contextual cues associated with such stimuli, typically repetitive oral (e. g., eating sounds) or nasal (e.g., breathing sounds) stimuli. Responses elicit significant psychological distress and impairment in functioning, and include acute increases in (a) negative affect (e.g., anger, anxiety, and disgust), (b) physiological arousal (e.g., sympathetic nervous system activation), and (c) overt behavior (e.g., escape behavior and verbal aggression toward individuals generating triggers). A major barrier to research and treatment of misophonia is the lack of rigorously validated assessment measures. As such, the primary purpose of this study was to develop and psychometrically validate a self-report measure of misophonia, the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ). There were two phases of measure development. In Phase 1, items were generated and iteratively refined from a combination of the scientific literature and qualitative feedback from misophonia sufferers, their family members, and professional experts. In Phase 2, a large community sample of adults ( = 424) completed DMQ candidate items and other measures needed for psychometric analyses. A series of iterative analytic procedures (e.g., factor analyses and IRT) were used to derive final DMQ items and scales. The final DMQ has 86 items and includes subscales: (1) Trigger frequency (16 items), (2) Affective Responses (5 items), (3) Physiological Responses (8 items), (4) Cognitive Responses (10 items), (5) Coping Before (6 items), (6) Coping During (10 items), (7) Coping After (5 items), (8) Impairment (12 items), and Beliefs (14 items). Composite scales were derived for overall Symptom Severity (combined Affective, Physiological, and Cognitive subscales) and Coping (combined the three Coping subscales). Depending on the needs of researchers or clinicians, the DMQ may be use in full form, individual subscales, or with the derived composite scales.
恐音症的特征是耐受性降低,以及伴随的防御动机系统对某些厌恶声音和与此类刺激相关的情境线索做出反应,这些刺激通常是重复性的口腔(如进食声音)或鼻腔(如呼吸声音)刺激。这些反应会引发严重的心理困扰和功能障碍,包括以下方面的急性增加:(a)负面情绪(如愤怒、焦虑和厌恶),(b)生理唤醒(如交感神经系统激活),以及(c)明显行为(如逃避行为和对引发触发因素的个体的言语攻击)。恐音症研究和治疗的一个主要障碍是缺乏经过严格验证的评估措施。因此,本研究的主要目的是开发并从心理测量学角度验证一种恐音症的自我报告测量工具,即杜克恐音症问卷(DMQ)。测量工具的开发分为两个阶段。在第一阶段,从科学文献以及恐音症患者、他们的家庭成员和专业专家的定性反馈中生成并反复完善项目。在第二阶段,一个由大量成年人组成的社区样本(N = 424)完成了DMQ候选项目以及心理测量分析所需的其他测量工具。一系列迭代分析程序(如因子分析和项目反应理论)被用于得出最终的DMQ项目和量表。最终的DMQ有86个项目,包括以下子量表:(1)触发频率(16个项目),(2)情感反应(5个项目),(3)生理反应(8个项目),(4)认知反应(10个项目),(5)事前应对(6个项目),(6)事中应对(10个项目),(7)事后应对(5个项目),(8)功能障碍(12个项目),以及信念(14个项目)。为总体症状严重程度(情感、生理和认知子量表的组合)和应对方式(三个应对子量表的组合)得出了综合量表。根据研究人员或临床医生的需求,DMQ可以以完整形式、单个子量表或派生的综合量表形式使用。
