MisQuest-Total – Misophonia Questionanaire Total Score; DES – Dissociative Experiences Scale (total percentage); Depression, Anxiety, and Stress – subscales of the DASS-21; Sensory processing styles (Low Registration, Sensation Seeking, Sensory Sensitivity, Sensory Avoiding) were measured using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (A/ASP). All values represent Spearman’s rho (ρ) correlation coefficients. ^*
