“…The findings indicated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .89) and a 30-day retest reliability of .62, as well as good convergent, divergent, and criterion validity (Sica, Coradeschi, Ghisi, & Sanavio, 2006;Sica & Ghisi, 2007). In the present study, the alpha coefficient for the BAI was .84 in the student sample and .90 in the clinical sample.…”

“…Other studies reported different and contrasting results in exploring the relationship between OC beliefs and OCD symptoms (Belloch, Morillo & Garcia-Soriano, 2007;Sica et al, 2004;Sica, Taylor, Arrindell & Sanavio, 2006). Also, which factor structure best represents the most commonly-used measure of OC beliefs content (the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire; OCCWG, 2003) remains in question (see Careau, O'Connor, Turgeon, & Freeston, 2003;Dorz et al,2009;Faull, Joseph, Meaden, & Lawrence, 2004;OCCWG, 2005;Taylor, McKay, & Abramowitz, 2005).…”

The cognitive model of OCD proposes that certain beliefs may contribute to the development and maintenance of this disorder. To date, however, it is not yet clear which beliefs are more relevant for explaining OCD symptomatology; moreover, their causal status is yet to be clearly established. In the effort to identify other constructs and processes related to OCD, the phenomenon labeled "not just right experiences" (NJREs) has received increasing attention. In this study, measures of NJREs (the NJRE-Q-R), OCD symptoms, general distress (i.e., anxiety, and depression), and perfectionism were administered to a large sample of college students and a small sample of OCD and non-OCD patients. The clinical sample completed also a measure of OC beliefs. Results showed that NJREs could be reliably measured through a self-report format in non-clinical and clinical Italian individuals. A specific association between NJREs severity and OCD symptoms was found in the non-clinical sample, after controlling for anxiety, depression and perfectionism. The NJRE-Q-R Severity scale clearly discriminated OCD patients from patients with other anxiety disorders or depression. Lastly, the NJREs measure differentiated the clinical groups when OC beliefs were controlled, whereas OC beliefs did not discriminate among the groups after NJREs severity was controlled. The concept of NJREs may contribute to improve current psychological and biological model of OCD.

Background and Objectives. The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS) was developed for assessing reactions to ambiguous situations, uncertainty, and future events. The IUS has been validated in different languages, but equivocal factor structures, in combination with highly interrelated items and factors, resulted in a redundancy of the items of the English version. In the current study, the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the IUS were examined, and compared with the shortened 12-item version (IUS-12).Methods. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to investigate different factor structures of both the full and short version of the IUS. Results. Results indicated that the IUS-12 model with two factors (ProspectiveAnxiety and Inhibitory Anxiety) provides the best fit. The reduced measure has equally good internal consistency, and is highly correlated with the full version.Limitations. Future research could investigate whether the current findings generalize to clinical populations. Conclusion.To summarize, the usage of the short 12-item version of the IUS should be encouraged in future research concerning intolerance of uncertainty.

“…For data analysis the 100-point scale is bought down to a 10-point scale, so that, total scores range from 0 to 310. Studies have demonstrated that the III has excellent reliability in clinical samples, non-anxious clinical samples, as well as student and community samples and also has been observed to have moderate test-retest reliability in non-clinical and clinical populations [17,42]. A review of the literature suggests that this scale is used more in research rather than in clinical practice.…”

Cognitive theories are more prominent among the theories that explain the etiology and maintenance of OCD as well as among those that offer treatment options. Metacognition is a concept included within the newer theories and models within the cognitive perspective. This is a review of literature with particular focus on the concept of metacognition in cognitive models of OCD, metacognitive measurement tools and metacognitive treatment options. Although there have been metacognitive elements within the cognitive theories for a long time, it is only recently that they have been given importance and considered as separate variables. Research suggests that metacognition plays a central role in the etiology and maintenance of OCD. There are multiple valid and reliable metacognitive tools that are available for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Metacognitive treatments offer promising results for patients with OCD. However, there is a need for more robust empirical evidence using large-scale and longitudinal studies to establish its role more concretely.
