“…However, the scores of a group of low-OCD patients did not differ from those obtained by a non-clinical control group of students. Faull, Joseph, Meaden, and Lawrence (2004), using the OBQ in a non-clinical sample and in a small OCD sample, reported that the belief domains were strongly overlapped, concluding that their consideration as independent domains is unclear. Holaway, Heimberg, and Coles (2006) reported that sub-clinical OCD and generalized anxiety disordered subjects did not differ on intolerance to uncertainty.…”

Are the dysfunctional beliefs that predict worry different from those that predict obsessions?

Chronic worry present in Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and obsessions characteristic of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are cognitive phenomena that share some features, but they also differ on others. Based on current cognitive approaches, dysfunctional meta-cognitive beliefs underlie the development and/or maintenance of both GAD and OCD. However, to date, there has been little empirical evidence about the differences between the beliefs that predict the occurrence of obsessions and those that predict worry. This study focuses on the search for these differences and examines to what extent worry and obsessions are associated with a similar or different pattern of dysfunctional cognitive contents. One hundred and seventy-five community subjects completed measures of worry and obsessional intrusive thoughts, as well as questionnaires assessing obsession-related and worry-related meta-cognitive beliefs. Results showed that beliefs about uncontrollability and danger, as well as cognitive self-consciousness, play a central role in predicting worry, whereas the beliefs concerning the importance of thoughts and Thought-Action Fusion probability are relevant in accounting for the frequency of obsessive intrusive thoughts.

“…As the present EFA generated single component structures for both the OCI-R and the OBQ-20, it is equivalent to using the total score for these scales. The use of total score may prevent redundancy (Moulding et al, 2009) since past studies have documented high correlations among the subscales for the OBQ (Woods, Tolin, & Abramowitz, 2004;Faull, Joseph, Meaden, & Lawrence, 2004). It is essential for future studies to examine the psychometric properties of these scales more carefully since most of these were not originally intended or validated for non-Western populations.…”

“…Other studies reported different and contrasting results in exploring the relationship between OC beliefs and OCD symptoms (Belloch, Morillo & Garcia-Soriano, 2007;Sica et al, 2004;Sica, Taylor, Arrindell & Sanavio, 2006). Also, which factor structure best represents the most commonly-used measure of OC beliefs content (the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire; OCCWG, 2003) remains in question (see Careau, O'Connor, Turgeon, & Freeston, 2003;Dorz et al,2009;Faull, Joseph, Meaden, & Lawrence, 2004;OCCWG, 2005;Taylor, McKay, & Abramowitz, 2005).…”

The cognitive model of OCD proposes that certain beliefs may contribute to the development and maintenance of this disorder. To date, however, it is not yet clear which beliefs are more relevant for explaining OCD symptomatology; moreover, their causal status is yet to be clearly established. In the effort to identify other constructs and processes related to OCD, the phenomenon labeled "not just right experiences" (NJREs) has received increasing attention. In this study, measures of NJREs (the NJRE-Q-R), OCD symptoms, general distress (i.e., anxiety, and depression), and perfectionism were administered to a large sample of college students and a small sample of OCD and non-OCD patients. The clinical sample completed also a measure of OC beliefs. Results showed that NJREs could be reliably measured through a self-report format in non-clinical and clinical Italian individuals. A specific association between NJREs severity and OCD symptoms was found in the non-clinical sample, after controlling for anxiety, depression and perfectionism. The NJRE-Q-R Severity scale clearly discriminated OCD patients from patients with other anxiety disorders or depression. Lastly, the NJREs measure differentiated the clinical groups when OC beliefs were controlled, whereas OC beliefs did not discriminate among the groups after NJREs severity was controlled. The concept of NJREs may contribute to improve current psychological and biological model of OCD.
