恐音症是一种声音耐受性下降的情况，其中特定的声音引起强烈的负面情绪反应。本研究的目的是探讨强迫症（OCD）症状和恐音症之间的关系，并探讨焦虑敏感性（AS）和恐音症之间的关系可能部分解释了强迫症症状的存在。使用亚马逊的MTurk从本科生（N = 451）和社区参与者（N = 377）收集数据。参与者完成了一项在线调查，评估声音耐受性降低的情况、个体差异变量和临床变量。恐音症与强迫性强迫症的相关性比强迫性强迫症的相关性更强，这与恐音症中强迫性思维的病例报告一致。此外，强迫症症状部分介导AS严重程度与恐音症状严重程度之间的关系。这些结果与焦虑敏感性在强迫症和恐音症中的理论作用一致，并为未来研究恐音症的机制提供了建议方向。
Misophonia is a decreased sound tolerance condition in which specific sounds elicit an intense negative emotional response. The aims of the current study were to examine how obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms and misophonia are related, and to examine the possibility that the relationship between anxiety sensitivity (AS) and misophonia may be explained in part by the presence of OCD symptoms. Data were collected from both undergraduate students (N = 451) and community participants (N = 377) using Amazon's MTurk. Participants completed an online survey assessing for decreased sound tolerance conditions, individual differences variables, and clinical variables. Misophonia was more strongly related to obsessive than to compulsive components of OCD, consistent with case reports of obsessive thoughts in misophonia. In addition, OCD symptoms partially mediated the relationship between AS severity and misophonia symptom severity. These results align with the theorized role of anxiety sensitivity in OCD and in misophonia, and provide suggested directions for future research into the mechanisms of misophonia.
