Krystina writes-COLLAPSE Article Critique: Participants, Research Issue and Purpose, and Implications Natalini et al. (2020) study on misophonia, personality disorders, and maladaptive schemas presents intriguing insights into the psychological aspects of this condition. However, the study is limited by its small sample size comprising only three participants, which undermines the generalizability and reliability of the findings. According to Washington et al. (2022), the lack of diversity among the participants (among participants in this study are Caucasians) restricts the applicability of the conclusions to a broader population. A larger and more diverse sample could have provided a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between misophonia, personality disorders, and maladaptive schemas. This would also enhance the study’s external validity and ensure more representative outcomes. While Natalini et al. (2020) effectively define their research issue and purpose, the absence of a control group or comparative analysis affects the study’s ability to establish a clear causal relationship between misophonia, personality disorders, and maladaptive schemas. Integrating a control group of individuals without misophonia could have enabled a comparative analysis, highlighting the distinct personality traits and maladaptive schemas between those with and without the condition. Levitt et al. (2021) explain that control groups strengthen the research process. Hence, control groups would have helped provide clearer insights into the specific psychological factors associated with misophonia. By incorporating comparative analysis, future studies could establish a firmer foundation for drawing conclusions about the interplay between misophonia, personality disorders, and maladaptive schemas. The implications drawn from the study’s findings suggest that interventions addressing misophonia should consider targeting underlying maladaptive interpersonal patterns and personality disorders. However, these implications are largely based on the outcomes from the small sample size, which might limit their applicability and generalizability to a broader population. The study does not provide empirical evidence from a larger sample to substantiate these implications. Hence, the authors should emphasize the need for further research involving larger-scale studies to confirm and generalize the implications discovered in this initial investigation. Strengthening these implications with evidence from more extensive and diverse studies would ensure a more comprehensive understanding of the psychological aspects of misophonia.
