Objective measures of interoceptive sensitivity were found largely unrelated to mental health symptoms, challenging existing models.
Self-reported interoceptive sensibility showed only moderate associations with symptoms, indicating a conceptual rather than mechanistic overlap.
Testing involved 547 participants and used psychophysical tasks along with hierarchical Bayesian modeling for precise analysis.
The findings prompt a reevaluation of interoception's role in mental health research and its measurement techniques.
