Cover Story: Misophonia is a disorder characterized by a disproportionate emotional response occurring in association with a decreased tolerance for certain sounds. In this study, we examined misophonic trigger sounds using state-of-the-art psychometric methods, including item factor analysis and item response theory models. This study adds valuable insight at the very core of misophonia: its trigger sounds. View this paper
