Abstract

Background and objectives

The Seeking Proxies for Internal States (SPIS) model of OCD posits that reduced access to internal states plays a key role in the development and maintenance of the disorder. The current work sought to provide further support for the model's central claim that obsessive-compulsive tendencies are associated with reduced access to internal states.

Method

Participants (N = 170) listened to 60 sound stimuli, rated how each one made them feel, and completed a measure of obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Following past procedure, we compared participants' ratings to each sound's normative valence rating, such that higher deviations between the ratings reflect a noisier perception of affective internal states.

Results

As hypothesized, higher obsessive-compulsive tendencies predicted greater deviations for both normatively-positive and normatively-negative sounds.

Conclusions

The current work provides additional, novel support for the SPIS model, showing that with increasing obsessive-compulsive tendencies, people exhibited reduced attunement to how auditory stimuli made them feel.

强迫性倾向预示着对听觉刺激的情感反应会减少

背景和目的强迫症的寻找内部状态代理（SPIS）模型认为，减少对内部状态的访问在强迫症的发展和维持中起着关键作用。目前的工作旨在进一步支持该模型的核心主张，即强迫症倾向与减少进入内部状态有关。方法170名参与者听了60种声音刺激，对每种声音刺激给他们的感觉进行了评分，并完成了强迫倾向的测量。按照过去的程序，我们将参与者的评级与每种声音的标准价评级进行比较，因此评级之间的较大偏差反映了对情感内部状态的嘈杂感知。结果，正如假设的那样，更高的强迫症倾向预示着更大的标准积极和标准消极声音的偏差。目前的研究为SPIS模型提供了额外的、新颖的支持，表明随着强迫症倾向的增加，人们对听觉刺激的感受表现出更低的调性。

期刊介绍： The publication of the book Psychotherapy by Reciprocal Inhibition (1958) by the co-founding editor of this Journal, Joseph Wolpe, marked a major change in the understanding and treatment of mental disorders. The book used principles from empirical behavioral science to explain psychopathological phenomena and the resulting explanations were critically tested and used to derive effective treatments. The second half of the 20th century saw this rigorous scientific approach come to fruition. Experimental approaches to psychopathology, in particular those used to test conditioning theories and cognitive theories, have steadily expanded, and experimental analysis of processes characterising and maintaining mental disorders have become an established research area.
