Abstract

Non-clinical norms on the Maudsley Obsessive—Compulsive Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Check List were obtained from 243 Ss. The scales used were found to intercorrelate significantly. The results obtained on these measures were compared with previous studies of both clinical and non-clinical populations.

  • The mediating effects of misinterpretation of intrusive thoughts on obsessive-compulsive symptoms

    Citation Excerpt :

    One of the limitations of the present study was the use of a non-clinical population. However, an interesting observation was that the MOCI scores from the present sample were higher than what has typically been found in non-clinical populations (e.g., Dent & Salkovskis, 1986; Salkovskis et al., 2000; Tracy et al., 1999). This may have been due to the fact that the sample was self-selected and attracted a high proportion of university students who identified with the title of the study (“Perfectionism and OC Behaviour”).

    Non-clinical samples have been used to study various aspects of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD; e.g., Burns, Formea, Keortge, & Sternberger, 1995; Clark & de Silva, 1985; Dent & Salkovskis, 1986; Freeston, Ladouceur, Thibodeau, & Gagnon, 1991; Frost, Lahart, Dugas, & Sher, 1988; Morris, Blashfield, Rankupalli, Bradley, & Goodman, 1997; Muris, Merckelbach, & Clavan, 1997; Purdon & Clark, 1993; Rachman, Shafran, Mitchell, Trant, & Teachman, 1996) because intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are relatively common in the general population.
