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]. |
