Abstract

Current psychological models of obsessive-compulsive disorder account for a surprisingly small degree of variability in obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms in statistical models. The current study examined whether constructs from the inference-based approach to OCD (i.e., inferential confusion and fear of self) explain OC symptom dimensions above and beyond what is explained by the prevailing cognitive appraisal model. Undergraduate participants (N = 339) completed a battery of self-report questionnaires assessing OC symptoms, obsessive beliefs, inferential confusion, and fear of self. Results revealed that both psychological models together accounted for about one quarter of the variance in OC symptoms. The inference-based approach concepts most closely aligned with responsibility, symmetry, and unacceptable thoughts, and added explanatory value to appraisal models of these symptom domains. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

推理混乱和自我恐惧对强迫症状心理模型的贡献：维度方法

目前的强迫症心理学模型在统计模型中对强迫症（OC）症状变异性的解释程度之小令人惊讶。本研究考察了基于推理的强迫症方法（即推理混乱和对自我的恐惧）中的建构物是否能解释超出主流认知评估模型所能解释的强迫症症状维度。本科生参与者（N = 339）完成了一系列自我报告问卷，评估强迫症症状、强迫观念、推理混乱和自我恐惧。结果显示，两种心理模型加在一起约占 OC 症状变异的四分之一。基于推理的方法概念与责任感、对称性和不可接受的想法最为接近，为这些症状领域的评估模型增加了解释价值。本文讨论了研究的局限性和未来发展方向。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
