Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome Scale (S-Five): a psychometric tool for assessing misophonia. Summary on three waves of sampling and analysis.

Misophonia is a neurobehavioral condition characterised by an intolerance to specific stimuli, resulting in an extreme physiological and emotional response. The condition is still largely unexplored; however, its study is gaining more interest in the literature. In the past few years, questionnaires assessing misophonia have been devised and implemented to study this population. Each existing questionnaire, scale, and assessment tool approach misophonia in very different ways. The aim of this study is to develop a new psychometric scale to measure misophonia as a trait, by synthesising many different aspects of this condition Development of this psychometric tool aims to help researchers measure the trait, study its characteristics, their severity and discriminant ability, as well as to explore potential associations of the condition with other traits and/or disorders. This manuscript presents the new tool and summarises the methodology followed in its development and the research strategy for its evaluation.
