Various reasons exist for why one finds particular stimuli annoying. Measurement of annoyance is highly subjective. As an attempt at measurement, psychological studies on annoyance often rely on their subjects' own ratings of levels of annoyance on a scale. Any kind of stimuli can cause annoyance, such as getting poked in the side or listening to a song repeatedly. Many stimuli that one is at first neutral to, or even finds pleasant, can turn into annoyances from repeated continued exposure. One can often encounter this phenomenon with such media as ], ]s, ], and ], which by their very nature are continually repeated over a period of weeks or months. | |||

"Escalation as a reaction to persistent annoyance.", ''International Journalists of Conflict Management.'' Bowling Green: July 1997, Vol 8, Issue 3; pg. 252</ref> It also found that one was more likely to blame the party who was causing the annoyance in the study, rather than one's self, for the annoyance as it escalated. | |||
