Structural relationships between levels of perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms: The mediating role of cognitive styles
Keywords:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Positive perfectionism, Negative perfectionism, Cognitive styleAbstract
The current research aims to determine the structural relationships between the levels of perfectionism and the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder with the mediation of cognitive styles. The statistical population of the present study consisted of University of Tabriz students; 360 were selected using a combination of purposeful and convenience sampling, and they completed online the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), Positive and negative perfectionism, and Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles. A reflective cognitive style was found to mediate the relationship between positive perfectionism levels and obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms. Additionally, perfectionism levels can predict the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder; reflective cognitive style can predict the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and perfectionism levels can predict reflective cognitive style. Consequently, the levels of perfectionism and reflective cognitive style predict the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and any intervention in this sector should consider the interactive effects of these variables.
