摘要

The ASMR-Sens is a newly developed questionnaire for reliably assessing the core phenomenon of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR): a tingling sensation, typically occurring on the skin of the neck and back of the head. Existing tools are too lengthy or lack focus on the core sensory ASMR experience. This study aimed to create a concise, valid instrument for evaluating ASMR sensations. A total of 345 participants viewed one of four video types (ASMR, walking tour, relaxation or screensaver) and completed 60 ASMR-related items and other established questionnaires. From the set of 60 items, 10 items were selected to form the ASMR-Sens, which showed a unidimensional factor structure and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.976). The ASMR-Sens demonstrated strong criterion-related validity, moderate convergent validity with the ASMR-15, and discriminant validity regarding constructs like sensory processing sensitivity and mindfulness. This robust tool offers a reliable method for advancing ASMR research.
