Banker et al. (2022) used psychiatric questionnaires and a controllability-based ultimatum task in a large online sample to examine misophonia, employing factor analysis and computational modeling. Individuals scoring high on the Miso-OC factor exhibited elevated perceived control specifically in objectively uncontrollable environments, alongside a greater mismatch between perceived and actual influence, reflecting an illusory sense of control that parallels prior findings in OCD populations showing overestimation of environmental controllability (Banker et al., 2022).
