Previous works have assessed individual variations in personality traits associated with ASMR, but no research to date has explored differences in emotion regulation associated with ASMR. This omission occurred even when ASMR, a sensory-emotional experience, has been proposed to be located in a sound sensitivity spectrum as the opposite end of misophonia, a phenomenon associated with difficulties regulating emotions. The present work aimed to assess group differences between ASMR self-reporters and non-ASMR controls associated with emotion regulation strategies. METHODS: We used the validated Spanish version of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire to assess individual differences in the use of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. RESULTS: Our results showed that participants who experience ASMR had higher scores in the cognitive reappraisal subscale of the emotion regulation questionnaire than the non-ASMR group. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals who experience ASMR reported higher use of cognitive reevaluation of emotionally arousing situations, suggesting more effectiveness in regulating emotions. Our finding further elucidates individual differences related to this experience, supporting that ASMR is a real psychophysiological phenomenon associated with other psychological constructs and has remarkable consequences in affective/emotional dimensions and general well-being.","language":"eng","journal":"PeerJ","author":[{"propositions":[],"lastnames":["Morales"],"firstnames":["Ricardo"],"suffixes":[]},{"propositions":[],"lastnames":["Ramírez-Benavides"],"firstnames":["Daniela"],"suffixes":[]},{"propositions":[],"lastnames":["Villena-Gonzalez"],"firstnames":["Mario"],"suffixes":[]}],"year":"2021","pmid":"34123591","pmcid":"PMC8164417","keywords":"ASMR, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, Cognitive reevaluation, Emotion regulation, Emotional response, Reappraisal, Suppression, Well-being","pages":"e11474","bibtex":"@article{morales_autonomous_2021,\n\ttitle = {Autonomous {Sensory} {Meridian} {Response} self-reporters showed higher scores for cognitive reappraisal as an emotion regulation strategy.},\n\tvolume = {9},\n\tcopyright = {© 2021 Morales et al.},\n\tissn = {2167-8359},\n\tdoi = {10.7717/peerj.11474},\n\tabstract = {BACKGROUND: Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) describes the experience of a pleasant tingling sensation along the back of the head, accompanied with a feeling of well-being and relaxation, in response to specific audio-visual stimuli, such as whispers, soft sounds, and personal attention.
