central role of anger and disgust in Misophonia

In a 2022 study, Dibb and Golding conducted a longitudinal study looking at which negative emotions (anger, disgust, or anxiety) are most strongly associated with misophonia. they found that Anger and disgust emerged as the primary emotions associated with misophonia, with both predicting misophonic responses over time even after controlling for depression. Disgust specifically predicted stronger emotional responses to triggers and greater perceived impact on participation in life at follow-up, while anger predicted longer recovery times and stronger physiological responses. Both anger and disgust predicted overall misophonia severity scores longitudinally, whereas anxiety did not predict any misophonic responses over time, indicating that anger and disgust are more central to the misophonic experience than anxiety (Dibb & Golding, 2022). Also note that This directly contradicts (Jager et al., 2021) finding of no association between disgust and misophonia

originally the main idea of this atom was split into two atoms, with one only differentiated by the mention of the contrast to Jager. for the sake of clean notes I removed the other note and am putting its text below for future reference if needed

Dibb and Golding 2022 contradict Jager 2022 Disgust findings

In a 2022 study, Dibb and Golding attempted to clarify which negative emotions (anger, disgust, or anxiety) are most strongly associated with misophonia and to assess quality of life in people with self-reported misophonia longitudinally. they found that disgust WAS significantly associated with misophonia both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Specifically, Dibb and Golding found that stronger feelings of disgust at baseline predicted a stronger emotional response to triggers and more perceived impact on participation in life at follow-up, and disgust remained a significant predictor even after controlling for depression. Also note that This directly contradicts (Jager et al., 2021) finding of no association between disgust and misophonia (Dibb & Golding, 2022).
