Abstract:
Obsessive compulsive symptoms (OC) characterized by recurrent unwanted
thoughts, images or impulses (obsessions) that provoke anxiety, as well as
attempts to resist or neutralize the obsessional anxiety through avoidance
behavior and intentional overt or covert action Although OCD previously was
thought to be relatively rare in the general population, more recent
epidemiological studies indicate a lifetime prevalence of approximately 2–3%.
The main purpose of the present study was to test whether the obsessive
compulsive groups are significant association with mal adaptive schema and
locus of control in sub scale of internal, powerful others and chance.
Examination of the individual betas
indicated that, chance and powerful others were
significant predictors of OCD arrangement and collecting
symptomatology (β= .32, p< .01, .arrangement
β=.51,P<.001 collecting). In addition to this,
only the interaction between mal adaptive schema
and all obsessive compulsive subscale maintained its high
significance (β= .71, p< .001). In the OCD group, multiple linear regression
analyses revealed highest partial correlations between scores on the repeating
dimension and ma adaptive schema (β=.84, P=0.01). other OCD symptom dimensions
were significantly related to locus of control specific powerful others and
chance dimension P :( β=.48 p=0.001) C :( β=.37 P=0.001). This result
demonstrated that powerful others and chance were predictor for obsessive
compulsive symptom. Present research demonstrated effect of Locus of
Control on OCD and we found Higher locus of control scoring (more towards
powerful others and chance) was significantly correlated to higher Y-BOCS total
obsessive compulsive symptom and other subscale as well as aggression and
repeating. There was no correlation between internal locus of control and OCD
score.
