Self-Administered Scales for Misophonia
Name Description Aim Comment
Misophonia Activation Scale
(MAS-1) [76]
Developed by Fitzmaurice (Misophonia-uk-org) To evaluate the severity of misophonia on a scale of 1 to 10 where extreme 10 indicates the most severe level of misophonic reaction. It has been used in different studies, but has not been validated.
[35,53,77]
Amsterdam Misophonia Scale
(A-MISO-S)
[20]
It is adapted from a scale for measuring obsessive-compulsive disorder
(Yale-Brown Scale).
To measure the intensity of misophonia and its influence on social functioning, anger, and efforts to inhibit aggressive impulses. Designed from another scale that measures another symptomatology.
Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ) [1] It is composed of the symptom scale, the emotions and behaviors scale, and the severity scale. To assess the sensitivity to sounds, explores the emotional and behavioral reaction associated with the stimulus. Widely used
[31,57,78,79].
Misophonia Physical Response Scale (MPRS) [80] Developed by The Misophonia Treatment Institute To collect the physical sensations related to misophonia. It assesses the intensity of the physiological response.
Online questionnaire
[40]
Designed to know the frequency of misophonic people in the general population. To inquire about the family history of misophonia, the presence of symptoms, and the characteristic of the response.
Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome Scale (S-Five) [30] For its development, a sample was used in the United Kingdom for people over 18 years of age. To evaluate internalizing and externalizing appraisals, as well as threat perception and avoidance behavior. Under development and in the process of
validation.
MisoQuest
[81]
Validated questionnaire based on diagnostic criteria proposed in other studies. Rule out the consideration of violent behavior in response to misophonic triggers as a symptom of misophonia. The reliability of this questionnaire was shown to be excellent.
Misophonia
Response Scale
(MRS)
[82]
This scale was not conducted as a specific tool to diagnose the presence of misophonia. To know the magnitude of the misophonic response in the presence of innocuous stimuli. Auditory, olfactory, visual, and tactile stimuli are also assessed. Adequate discriminant and convergent validity. Good internal consistency.
Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ) [83] Scale of 86 items: subdivided into
(a) general severity of symptoms and (b) coping.
Development and psychometric validation of a self-report measure of misophonia. The subscales can be used individually.
Misophonia Emotion Responses (MER-2) [35] At the time of the present study, these measures had not yet been subjected to psychometric evaluation.
Misophonia Coping Responses Scale (MCRS) [35]
Misophonia Trigger Severity Scale [35].
Sussex Misophonia Scale for Adolescents
(SMS-Adolescent) [84]
The first questionnaire of misophonia validated for children and adolescents
(10 to 14 years old).
It is an adapted version of the scale for adults [85].
