Abstract
|
Objective: This study aimed to examine the structural relationships between
thought/action fusion, cognitive beliefs, mindfulness, and experiential avoidance
with symptoms of OCD in a non-clinical population.
Methods and Materials: The research design was descriptive-correlational. The
statistical population of this study included all university students in Tabriz. A
sample of 500 individuals was selected using convenience sampling. The research
instruments included the revised Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, the
Thought/Action Fusion Scale, the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire, the
Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale, and the Acceptance and Action
Questionnaire (second version). Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural
equation modeling were used to analyze the research hypotheses. Data analysis was
performed using SPSS version 25.
Findings: The statistical analysis results indicated that the combination of cognitive
beliefs, mindfulness, and experiential avoidance variables could predict the
symptoms of washing, obsession, hoarding, order, checking, and neutralizing
symptoms of OCD (p < .05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be inferred that professionals can utilize
the potential of the studied variables in the areas of diagnosis and clinical
interventions for OCD..
