Although an inflated sense of responsibility, thought-action fusion, and thought suppression are influential factors in cognitive models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), their impact on OCD has generally been demonstrated in samples from Western countries. The aim of the present study is to evaluate these cognitive factors in Turkish patients with OCD, other anxiety disorders, and community controls. Group comparisons showed that responsibility based on self-dangerousness and thought suppression significantly distinguished OCD patients from patients with other anxiety disorders and controls. Moreover, correlation and discriminant function analyses indicated that thought-action fusion in morality and likelihood was also associated with OCD symptoms. The present findings provide support for the international validity and specificity of cognitive factors and model for OCD. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cultural context, obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, and cognitions: A preliminary study of three Turkish samples living in different countries Yorulmaz, Orcun; Isik, Bilgen (2011-01-01) Previous research findings have suggested that recent cognitive accounts of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are valid across different cultural contexts for both clinical and nonclinical samples; however, there is evidence that cultural differences may have an impact on a number of cognitive variables. For this reason, immigration provides an exceptional opportunity for an examination of the role of cultural context in cognitions and possible changes in cultural characteristics. To this end, the present...
Responsibility attitudes and locus of control as predictors of obsessive-compulsive symtomatology : an analysis within the cognitive model Altın, Müjgan; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray; Department of Psychology (2004) This study investigated the effects of responsibility attitudes, locus of control and their interactions on general obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptomatology and dimensions of OC symptoms. Research subjects consisted of 385 senior high school students from Fatih Sultan Mehmet High School in Ankara. The students were given the Turkish version of Responsibility Attitudes Scale (RAS), the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), the Locus of Control Scale (LCS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and t...
A comprehensive model for obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms: a cross-cultural investigation of cognitive and other vulnerability factors Yorulmaz, Orçun; Gençöz, Tülin; Department of Psychology (2007) The current coginitive models of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms focuses on the different cognitive factors. Like other nonspecific and noncognitive variables, these factors may also function as vulnerability factors. However, they have been mostly studied separately and majority of the findings in the literature come from the Western samples. Accordingly, the studies examining these factors together and the impact of the culture in these studies are sparse in number. The present study sugg...
Further Support for Responsibility in Different Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms in Turkish Adolescents and Young Adults Yorulmaz, Orcun; Altin, Muejgan; Karanci, Nuray (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2008-10-01) According to the cognitive model, an inflated sense of responsibility is an important cognitive mediator both in the development and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Empirical findings assign differential roles to responsibility in different kinds of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. However, findings that suggested a different function for responsibility revealed the need for an operational definition of responsibility and its multi-factorial factorial structure. Few studies have exami...
Detection of obsessive compulsive disorder using resting-state functional connectivity data Khaneh Shenas, Sona; Halıcı, Uğur; Çiçek, Metehan; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2013) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a serious psychiatric disease that might be affiliated with abnormal resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) in default mode network (DMN) of brain. The aim of this study is to discriminate patients with OCD from healthy individuals by employing pattern recognition methods on rs-FC data obtained through regions of interest (ROIs) such as Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC), Left Inferior Posterior Lobe (LIPL) and Right Inferior Posterior Lobe (RIPL). For this purpos...
