To perform a psychometric validation of a Norwegian version of the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ-NOR) and to test the link between the personality trait neuroticism and misophonia assessed with the MQ-NOR.
Participants completed online versions of the MQ-NOR on two occasions about two weeks apart and the neuroticism scale from BFI-20.
Two-hundred and twenty-seven (T1) and 173 (T2) participants with self-reported misophonia.
The MQ-NOR was found to comprise two factors: Symptom Scale and Emotions and Behaviours Scale. Overall, the MQ-NOR evidenced good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Regression analyses supported a positive relationship between misophonia and neuroticism that was moderated by participant age, but not gender.
The MQ-NOR demonstrates good psychometric properties, but until more extensively validated, it is cautiously recommended for use by clinicians in Norway to assessing misophonia. Future validation studies should be carried out.
对挪威版厌恶症问卷(MQ-NOR)进行心理计量学验证,并检验 MQ-NOR 评估的神经质人格特质与厌恶症之间的关联。
参与者在大约两周的时间内两次在线完成 MQ-NOR 和 BFI-20 中的神经质量表。
227 名(T1)和 173 名(T2)报告有厌恶症的参与者。
MQ-NOR 由两个因素组成:症状量表和情绪与行为量表。总体而言,MQ-NOR 具有良好的内部一致性和重测信度。回归分析支持厌恶症与神经质之间存在正相关关系,该关系受到参与者年龄的调节,但不受性别影响。
MQ-NOR 具有良好的心理计量学特性,但在更广泛验证之前,谨慎建议挪威临床医生使用该问卷评估厌恶症。应进行进一步的验证研究。
