This study aimed to determine the relationship between misophonia and aggression, with the mediating role of anxiety sensitivity in university students. The research method was descriptive-correlational with structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study consisted of students from the University of Guilan in 2024. A total of 200 students participated in an online survey using a convenience sampling method. They responded to the Buss-Perry Questionnaire (BPAQ; Buss & Perry, 1992), the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ; Wu et al., 2014), and the Revised Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI-R; Reiss & Peterson, 1986). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings showed that the proposed model had a good fit. Results revealed that misophonia and anxiety sensitivity had a positive direct effect on aggression; furthermore, misophonia had a positive direct effect on anxiety sensitivity (P<0.05). The bootstrap test results indicated that anxiety sensitivity played a mediating role in the relationship between misophonia and aggression (P<0.05). In conclusion, it can be inferred that misophonia, as a disturbing trigger, directly and through the mediation of anxiety sensitivity, contributes to the increase in aggression.
