摘要

背景与目的越来越多的证据证实了厌恶在污染相关强迫症（C-OCD）中的重要作用。对厌恶在强迫症认知偏差中的作用的进一步了解，可能有助于阐明强迫症的精神病理学及其相应的子维度或亚型。本研究引入了一种新的心理语言学研究方法来研究C-OCD与其他强迫症症状维度（nC-OCD）的词关联网络偏差。方法强迫症患者70例；C-OCD组N = 42， nC- OCD组N = 28)和健康对照(HC；N = 36)被要求与提示词产生最多五个口头联想。对记录的联想的书面形式进行了分析，词汇词典提供了效价、唤起、效力、恐惧和厌恶的评级标准。我们检查了所有参与者的OCI-R子量表“洗涤”和情感变量之间的双变量相关性。我们研究了标准化（三组比较：C-OCD vs. nC-OCD vs. HC）和个体（两组比较：C-OCD vs. nC-OCD）提示词对这五个变量的关联反应中语义偏差的组间差异。结果“洗涤”与厌恶的相关性最强。三组比较发现C-OCD的负效价和厌恶相关的关联比HC和nC-OCD更多。与nC-OCD组相比，C-OCD组在所有情绪变量中产生的关联更为明显。局限性：评分规范没有涵盖所有的词关联，导致数据缺失。强迫症组由于事后分配而不平衡。结论研究结果支持了强迫症谱系中存在差异偏倚语义网络的假设，C-OCD中存在更多的消极和厌恶情绪。

A psycholinguistic investigation of biased semantic networks in contamination-related obsessive-compulsive disorder

Background and objectives

Increasing evidence confirms the significant involvement of disgust in contamination-related obsessive-compulsive disorder (C-OCD). More insights into the role of disgust within cognitive biases in OCD may illuminate the psychopathology and corresponding subdimensions or subtypes. The present study introduces a new approach adopted from psycholinguistic research to investigate biases in word association networks in C-OCD versus other OCD symptom dimensions (nC-OCD).

Method

Individuals with OCD (N = 70; N = 42 with C-OCD, N = 28 with nC- OCD) and healthy controls (HC; N = 36) were asked to produce up to five verbal associations with cue words. Written forms of the recorded associations were analyzed with word lexica providing rating norms for valence, arousal, potency, fear, and disgust. We examined bivariate correlations between OCI-R subscale “Washing” and affective variables across all participants. We investigated group differences in semantic biases in the association responses to these five variables given to standardized (three-group comparison: C-OCD vs. nC-OCD vs. HC) and individual (two-group comparison: C-OCD vs. nC-OCD) cue words.

Results

“Washing” and disgust showed the strongest correlation. The three-group comparison revealed more negative valence and disgust-related associations for C-OCD as compared to HC and nC-OCD. Associations generated by the C-OCD group were more pronounced in all emotion variables as compared to the nC-OCD group. Limitations: Rating norms did not cover all word associations, resulting in missing data. The OCD groups were unbalanced due to post-hoc allocation.

Conclusions

Results support the assumption of differentially biased semantic networks across the OCD spectrum, with greater negativity and disgust in C-OCD.

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.
