Abstract

Sexual orientation intrusive thoughts are a debilitating form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The present study aimed to elucidate how psychological inflexibility and dysfunctional beliefs may impact the relationships of sexual orientation intrusive thoughts and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms with well-being. A total of 181 undergraduate students completed measures of sexual orientation intrusive thoughts, OC symptoms, psychological inflexibility, dysfunctional beliefs, and well-being. Results indicated positive correlations between psychological inflexibility, sexual orientation intrusive thoughts, dysfunctional beliefs, and OC symptoms, along with negative correlations between well-being and sexual orientation intrusive thoughts, OC symptoms, dysfunctional beliefs, and psychological inflexibility. Psychological inflexibility acted as a mediator between sexual orientation intrusive thoughts and well-being and between OC symptoms and well-being. Dysfunctional beliefs were not a significant mediator. These results suggest that psychological inflexibility may partially explain the association between OC symptoms and well-being, pointing toward the need for future research on the impact of psychological inflexibility on well-being in the context of OC symptoms.

性取向、侵入性思想与幸福感:心理不灵活性的中介作用。

性取向侵入性思维是一种使人衰弱的强迫症。本研究旨在阐明心理不灵活性和功能失调的信念如何影响性取向、侵入性思想和强迫症(OC)症状与幸福感的关系。共有181名本科生完成了性取向侵入性思想、OC症状、心理不灵活性、功能失调信念和幸福感的测量。结果表明，心理不灵活性、性取向侵入性思想、功能失调信念与OC症状呈正相关，幸福感与性取向侵入性思想、OC症状、功能失调信念和心理不灵活性呈负相关。心理不灵活性在性取向、侵入性思想与幸福感、OC症状与幸福感之间起中介作用。功能失调的信念并不是一个重要的中介。这些结果表明，心理不灵活性可能部分解释了OC症状与幸福感之间的关系，指出需要进一步研究OC症状背景下心理不灵活性对幸福感的影响。
