Previous research has shown a robust link between emotional abuse and neglect with social anxiety symptoms. However, the mechanisms through which these links operate are less clear. We hypothesized model in early experiences of create aversive shame states, internalized into stable shame-based cognitive-affective schema. Self-criticism is conceptualized as safety strategy designed to conceal flaws prevent further shame. self-criticism maintains negative self-perceptions insecurity...
Approval of hierarchy and inequality in society indexed by social dominance orientation (SDO) extends to support for human over the natural world. We tested this negative association between SDO environmentalism validity new Short Social Dominance Orientation Scale two cross-cultural samples students ( N = 4,163, k 25) general population 1,237, 10). As expected, higher people were on SDO, less likely they engage environmental citizenship actions, pro-environmental behaviors donate an...
The study aimed to examine the factor structure of Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ), most widely used measure dysfunctional beliefs in obsessive—compulsive disorder (OCD). Multiple exploratory methods (exploratory analysis, cluster analysis by variable, multidimensional scaling) were questionnaire. Confirmatory analyses also performed two large nonclinical samples from Australia ( N = 1,234) and Israel 617). Our suggested a four-factor solution with 38 items, where threat responsibility...
We used actor-partner interdependence modeling to explore associations among attachment-related dyadic processes, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in war veterans, and secondary traumatic (STS) their wives. A sample of 157 Israeli couples (85 former prisoners wives a comparison group 72 veterans not held captive wives) completed self-report scales assessing attachment insecurities (anxiety, avoidance) PTSD symptoms. For both groups wives, anxiety was associated with the severity own...
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most disabling and highly prevalent anxiety disorders. Cognitive models implicate maladaptive beliefs such as inflated sense responsibility, perfectionism, importance/control thoughts in maintenance disorder, but little research has investigated factors that may lead to these beliefs. This paper whether a dysfunctional attachment system be factor, by examining how adult orientations (dimensions avoidance) relate OCD-related cognitions, OCD...
Aspects of self-concept have been implicated in recent cognitive theories obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). It has proposed that OCD is associated with perceptions incompetence self-domains considered important by the individual. A previous study nonclinical individuals found such "sensitivity self" areas job competence, morality and social acceptability was elevated symptoms related beliefs. This examined whether self-sensitivity to higher cognitions OCD, specific versus other anxiety...
Objectives. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most disabling and highly prevalent anxiety disorders (ADs). Current cognitive models OCD implicate views about self world in maintenance disorder. However, little research has focused on issues that may lead to vulnerability such views. In particular, a person's attachment insecurities (attachment anxiety, avoidance) be important risk factors increasing likelihood non‐adaptive perceptions ( Doron & Kyrios, 2005 ). Design....
Increasingly, cognitive-behavioural models have been considering the role of beliefs about self in development and maintenance obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including sensitive domains self-concept feared self-perceptions. This has led to Fear Self Questionnaire (FSQ; Aardema et al., ), which shown strong internal consistency, divergent convergent validity, found be a major predictor unwanted thoughts impulses (i.e., repugnant obsessions). The current study aimed investigate fear...
Research has suggested that high levels of attachment insecurities are formed through interactions with significant others associated a general vulnerability to mental disorders. In the present paper, we extend Ein-Dor and Doron's (2015) transdiagnostic model linking orientations internalizing externalizing symptoms, include thought disorder spectrum symptoms. Specifically, speculate on processes mediate linkage between psychosis obsessive compulsive (OCD) indicate different contexts might...
Background. Obsessive preoccupation, doubts, and compulsive behaviors focusing on one's romantic relationship partner are receiving increasing clinical, theoretical empirical attention. Commonly referred to as obsessive-compulsive disorder (ROCD), such symptoms have been linked with decreased relational sexual functioning lower mood, even after controlling for other (OCD) symptoms. To date, however, these studied in community sample alone. In the present study, we compared levels of...
Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disabling condition with wide variety of clinical presentations including contamination fears, fear harm, and relationship-related obsessions. Cognitive behavioral models OCD suggest that OC symptoms result from catastrophic misinterpretations commonly occurring intrusive experiences associated dysfunctional strategies used to manage them. OCD-related maladaptive beliefs inflated responsibility, importance control thoughts, perfectionism,...
