Autonomous sensory meridian response: Scale development and personality correlates.

Abstract: Altered states of consciousness refer to qualitative shifts in an individual's overall pattern of mental functioning. This article presents the 3-part development and validation of a multidimensional self-report measure of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). ASMR is an intensely pleasurable, head-orientated tingling sensation that typically occurs in response to specific, audiovisual triggers, producing feelings of comfort, relaxation and euphoria. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, conducting a co… Show more

“…In line with these previous studies supporting ASMR as an emotional experience, ASMR has also been suggested to be related to another underreported condition known as misophonia, where familiar repetitive sounds, mostly sound produced by humans such as chewing and sniffing, may trigger negative physiological, emotional, and behavioral responses (Roberts, Beath & Boag, 2019;Rouw & Erfanian, 2018).…”

“…Therefore, ASMR appears to only reflect the passive aspects of flow, which are more consistent with the construct of absorption (Jackson et al, 2001). This is also in line with Barratt and Davis (2015) and Roberts et al, (2019) studies who measured flow in terms of its passive component which was found to be positively associated with the ASMR experience. Moreover, these results also fit with previous reports of elevated fantasising and imaginative involvement in ASMR (Janik McErlean & Banissy, 2017) and the fact that fantasy engagement and imagination are key characteristics of absorption but not flow (Nakamura & Csikszentmihalyi, 2014).…”

“…Absorption has also been linked to hypnotisability, imagery, daydreaming, and openness to experience (Weilbel et al, 2010;Glisky, Tataryn, Tobias, Kihlstrom, & McConkey, 1991). Recently, an association between absorption propensity and ASMR has also been reported (Roberts et al, 2019). Taking into account existing findings and the phenomenological similarities between absorption and the immersive nature of ASMR, one may expect increased levels of absorption among ASMR-experiencers compared to controls.…”

“…Since then, the number of published papers on ASMR has increased year on year (Figure 1), indicating a growing academic interest in the phenomenon. Researchers have subsequently investigated the triggers of ASMR (Barratt et al, 2017), the physiological concomitants (Poerio et al, 2018), personality correlates and co-occurrences with other sensory experiences (Bedwell & Butcher, 2020;Fredborg et al, 2017Fredborg et al, , 2018Keizer et al, 2020;Lee et al, 2019;McErlean & Banissy, 2017McErlean & Osborne-Ford, 2020), underlying brain regions (Lochte et al, 2018;Smith et al, 2017Smith et al, , 2019a, and developed reliable self-report measures (Roberts et al, 2019) and curated stimuli sets (Liu & Zhou, 2019).…”
