“…This study has the advantage that it compared responses to direct, indirect, and harmful contaminants, whereas most studies are limited to examining responses to direct contaminants. Although these categories of contaminants are not always mutually exclusive and a contaminant may have properties of more than one category (Adams et al, 2013), it is still important to differentiate and examine responses to prototypical contaminants in these categories. People with the contamination subtype of OCD have a wide and varied range of items which they consider contaminating (Prabhu et al, 2013), and examining response characteristics to certain categories of contaminants may enhance our understanding of the heterogeneity of triggers and behaviors in OCD.…”

“…In contrast, the cognitive component involves an appraisal of the threat which produces a fear of contamination (Dorfan & Woody, 2006). The appraisal is influenced by many cognitive factors, including knowledge and estimation about the threat posed (Adams et al, 2013). Estimations about the level of threat include the perceived likelihood and perceived severity of contamination if contact occurs (Riskind, 1997).…”

“…Thus, from theoretical and empirical perspectives, contamination-related OCD has been associated with different cognitive and emotional variables. Studies theoretically and/or empirically integrating those variables (e.g., Adams, Cisler, Brady, Lohr, & Olatunji, 2013) suggest that neither general beliefs nor disgust experiences may be sufficient for the development/ maintenance of contamination-related OCD.…”
