Abstract

Half of the people who seek treatment for Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) do not benefit from first-line interventions. A better understanding of the factors associated with obsessions and compulsions may inform the development of more effective treatments. This study aimed to examine whether a fear of guilt is associated with obsessive–compulsive symptoms. Fear of guilt incorporates two domains: punishment (the tendency to believe that guilt means one is bad and to punish oneself for feelings of guilt) and harm prevention (the tendency to believe that guilt implies failure to be one's ideal self and the drive to prevent feelings of guilt). Online questionnaires assessing OCD symptoms, fear of guilt, and other related factors were administered to 192 adults. In contrast to previous studies, key conceptually relevant constructs, such as shame, anxiety, and depression symptoms, were also assessed. The punishment dimension of fear of guilt subscale was positively associated with OCD symptoms controlling for age, sex, guilt, shame, responsibility for harm, generalised anxiety, and depression. The punishment domain of fear of guilt may therefore be an important factor to consider and potentially target in treatments for OCD. Future investigations with clinical populations may clarify the importance of fear of guilt in OCD.
内疚恐惧与强迫症症状之间的联系
一半寻求强迫症治疗的人没有从一线干预中受益。更好地了解与强迫症相关的因素可能会为开发更有效的治疗方法提供信息。这项研究旨在检验对内疚的恐惧是否与强迫症症状有关。对内疚的恐惧包括两个领域:惩罚(倾向于认为内疚意味着自己不好,并因内疚感而惩罚自己)和伤害预防(倾向于相信内疚意味着无法成为理想中的自己和阻止内疚感的动力)。对192名成年人进行了在线问卷调查,评估强迫症症状、对内疚的恐惧和其他相关因素。与之前的研究相反,还评估了关键的概念相关结构,如羞耻、焦虑和抑郁症状。恐惧内疚分量表的惩罚维度与控制年龄、性别、内疚、羞耻、对伤害的责任、普遍焦虑和抑郁的强迫症症状呈正相关。因此,恐惧内疚的惩罚领域可能是强迫症治疗中需要考虑的一个重要因素,也是潜在的目标。未来对临床人群的调查可能会澄清强迫症患者对内疚的恐惧的重要性。
