Abstract

Relationship Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (ROCD) is considered a clinical variant of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) in which obsessions may be focused on the relationship itself (relationship-centered ROCD [RC-ROCD]), or on the partner's perceived flaws (partner-focused ROCD [PF-ROCD]). Despite the growing interest in ROCD, not much is known regarding contextual, cognitive, and personality determinants of the symptoms. Using multiple regression analysis, we investigated results of an online survey administered to 164 healthy participants, assessing fear of guilt, RC- and PF-ROCD symptoms, and narcissistic and paranoic personality traits. Results showed the significant effects of fear of guilt and relationship duration on both ROCD subtypes. Narcissism was found to predict PF-ROCD only, and effects of paranoia were found to predict RC-ROCD only, providing possible support for differential diagnoses. We discuss influence mechanisms. Taken together, these results offer a valuable source of knowledge in approaching the assessment of and intervention for ROCD as well as sexual dysfunction.

关系强迫症（R-OCD）：关系持续时间、对内疚的恐惧和个性特征的作用

关系强迫症（ROCD）被认为是强迫症（OCD）的一种临床变体，其中强迫症可能集中在关系本身（以关系为中心的ROCD[RC-ROCD]）或伴侣感知的缺陷（以伴侣为中心的ROCD[PF-ROCD]]）。尽管人们对ROCD越来越感兴趣，但对症状的上下文、认知和个性决定因素知之甚少。使用多元回归分析，我们调查了一项针对164名健康参与者的在线调查结果，评估了对内疚的恐惧、RC和PF-ROCD症状以及自恋和偏执人格特征。结果显示，对内疚的恐惧和关系持续时间对两种ROCD亚型都有显著影响。自恋只能预测PF-ROCD，偏执狂的影响只能预测RC-ROCD，为鉴别诊断提供了可能的支持。我们讨论影响机制。总之，这些结果为ROCD和性功能障碍的评估和干预提供了宝贵的知识来源。

The journal invites studies of clinical and non-clinical (i.e., student) samples of all age groups from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and other medical and health sciences. The journal''s broad focus encompasses classification, assessment, psychological and psychiatric treatment, prevention, psychopathology, neurobiology and genetics. Clinical reports (descriptions of innovative treatment methods) and book reviews on all aspects of OCD-related disorders will be considered, as will theoretical and review articles that make valuable contributions. Suitable topics for manuscripts include: -The boundaries of OCD and relationships with OC spectrum disorders -Validation of assessments of obsessive-compulsive and related phenomena -OCD symptoms in diverse social and cultural contexts -Studies of neurobiological and genetic factors in OCD and related conditions -Experimental and descriptive psychopathology and epidemiological studies -Studies on relationships among cognitive and behavioral variables in OCD and related disorders -Interpersonal aspects of OCD and related disorders -Evaluation of psychological and psychiatric treatment and prevention programs, and predictors of outcome.
