Description
Obsessions and compulsions occur in many individuals with anxiety and mood disorders, even outside of formal diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The unique contribution of OC symptoms on distress remains unclear. OC symptoms may also shape daily distress via pathways of social cognition related to morality. The present study investigated these phenomena in a clinical sample of individuals with anxiety and depressive disorders (N = 84). Results showed that, even when controlling for depression and worry, OC symptoms predicted higher daily distress. Moreover, self-perceptions of low morality and communion each uniquely mediated effects of baseline OC symptoms on daily distress.
