Abstract

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a complex sensory-perceptual phenomenon characterised by relaxing and pleasurable scalp-tingling sensations. The ASMR trait is nonuniversal, thought to have developmental origins, and a prevalence rate of 20%. Previous theory and research suggest that trait ASMR may be underlined by atypical multisensory perception from both interoceptive and exteroceptive modalities. In this study, we examined whether ASMR responders differed from nonresponders in interoceptive accuracy and multisensory processing style. Results showed that ASMR responders had lower interoceptive accuracy but a greater tendency towards sensation seeking, especially for tactile, olfactory, and gustatory modalities. Exploratory mediation analyses suggest that sensation-seeking behaviours in trait ASMR could reflect a compensatory mechanism for either deficits in interoceptive accuracy, a tendency to weight exteroceptive signals more strongly, or both. This study provides the foundations for understanding how interoceptive and exteroceptive mechanisms might explain not only the ASMR trait, but also individual differences in the ability to experience complex positive emotions more generally.

由外向内:ASMR的特点是感觉准确性降低,但感觉寻求更高。
自主感觉经络反应(ASMR)是一种复杂的感觉知觉现象,其特征是放松和愉快的头皮刺痛感。ASMR特征是非普遍性的,被认为有发育起源,患病率为20%。先前的理论和研究表明,特质ASMR可能通过内感受和外感受两种模式的非典型多感觉感知来强调。在这项研究中,我们检查了ASMR应答者与无应答者在感知准确性和多感觉处理风格方面是否存在差异。结果表明,ASMR应答者的内感受准确性较低,但更倾向于寻求感觉,尤其是在触觉、嗅觉和味觉模式方面。探索性中介分析表明,特质ASMR中的感觉寻求行为可能反映了一种补偿机制,要么是内感受准确性的缺陷,要么是对外感受信号进行更强烈加权的倾向,要么两者兼而有之。这项研究为理解内感受和外感受机制如何不仅解释ASMR特征,而且解释更普遍地体验复杂积极情绪能力的个体差异奠定了基础。

期刊介绍: Multisensory Research is an interdisciplinary archival journal covering all aspects of multisensory processing including the control of action, cognition and attention. Research using any approach to increase our understanding of multisensory perceptual, behavioural, neural and computational mechanisms is encouraged. Empirical, neurophysiological, psychophysical, brain imaging, clinical, developmental, mathematical and computational analyses are welcome. Research will also be considered covering multisensory applications such as sensory substitution, crossmodal methods for delivering sensory information or multisensory approaches to robotics and engineering. Short communications and technical notes that draw attention to new developments will be included, as will reviews and commentaries on current issues. Special issues dealing with specific topics will be announced from time to time. Multisensory Research is a continuation of Seeing and Perceiving, and of Spatial Vision.
