Can selective attention and inhibition (interactively) predict future obsessive compulsive symptoms? A prospective study.

摘要: Abstract Background and objectives The current study set out to investigate whether obsessive beliefs, selective attention, inhibition, the interaction between attention inhibition can prospectively predict contamination compulsive (OC) symptoms. Methods Obsessive were assessed in a student sample (n = 89) during baseline session beginning of first semester. Their predictive value was examined by assessing symptoms after an OC symptom induction lab period increased stress (the examination period) 68–80 days baseline. Results showed that beliefs did not consistently there no effect attentional bias, bias variability, isolation. However, variability context contamination-related stimuli interacted, which only combination poor large predicted period. Limitations Future research should similar results are found clinical populations, as consisted convenience undergraduate students. Conclusion These support notion information processing biases interact predicting
