“…Our findings are in line with previous data that fear of COVID‐19 which was significantly induced by intolerance of uncertainty was significantly associated with increased cyberchondria severity. Additionally, a tendency to generate probabilities of threat and harm which results in development and maintenance of obsessive–compulsive disorder (Boysan et al ., 2022 ; Gulec et al ., 2014 ; O'Connor & Aardema, 2011 ) was significantly tied to intolerance of uncertainty and fear of COVID‐19. Moreover, participants more prone to negativistic attributions in terms of obsessional probabilistic inferences reported higher scores on the CSS and IUS through increased fear of COVID‐19 infection.…”

“…The obsessional probabilistic thinking style as indexed by the Obsessional Probabilistic Inferences Scale was found to be associated with obsessive–compulsive symptoms, obsessional beliefs and depression among clinical samples compared to healthy controls (Gulec, Deveci, Besiroglu, Boysan, Kalafat & Oral, 2014 ). In a more recent structural equation study, Boysan, Yıldırım and Ökmen ( 2022 ) identified that obsessional probabilistic thinking contributed to obsessive–compulsive symptoms and dissociation in which the relationships of obsessionality and dissociation with metacognitions were mediated by obsessional probabilistic thinking as well.…”

The study was set out to explore the structural relationships between fear of COVID‐19, cyberchondria, intolerance of uncertainty, and obsessional probabilistic inferences. The data were recruited online from a community population ( n = 1,049) subjected to a confirmatory factor analytic procedure. The structural model specified according to the previous findings in the literature showed that a general tendency to negative expectations in terms of probabilistic thinking was significantly associated with both COVID‐19‐related‐fear and intolerance of uncertainty. Fear of COVID‐19 was significantly associated with cyberchondria. Probabilistic thinking style and intolerance of uncertainty contributed to cyberchondria through fear of COVID‐19 as well. We concluded that a tendency to engage in a probabilistic thinking style and intolerance of uncertainty seems to play role in the etiology of fear of infection and cyberchondria.

“…Although AII is usually referred to as “non-pathological dissociation,” several studies have demonstrated its linear association with psychopathology in general ( Leavitt, 2001 ; Levin and Spei, 2004 ; Armour et al, 2014 ; Soffer-Dudek et al, 2015 ; Humpston et al, 2016 ), and specifically, with OCS ( Soffer-Dudek et al, 2015 ; Soffer-Dudek, 2017a , 2019 ; Tapancı et al, 2018 ; Boysan et al, 2022 ). More generally, dissociative experiences, as measured with the DES as well as with other scales, have been associated with OCD/S in several studies (for a review see Soffer-Dudek, 2014 , although additional studies have been published since).…”

A strong and specific link between obsessive-compulsive disorder or symptoms (OCD/S) and a tendency for dissociative experiences (e.g., depersonalization-derealization, absorption and imaginative involvement) cannot be explained by trauma and is poorly understood. The present theoretical formulation proposes five different models conceptualizing the relationship. According to Model 1, dissociative experiences result from OCD/S through inward-focused attention and repetition. According to Model 2, dissociative absorption causally brings about both OCD/S and associated cognitive risk factors, such as thought-action fusion, partly through impoverished sense of agency. The remaining models highlight common underlying causal mechanisms: temporo-parietal abnormalities impairing embodiment and sensory integration (Model 3); sleep alterations causing sleepiness and dreamlike thought or mixed sleep-wake states (Model 4); and a hyperactive, intrusive imagery system with a tendency for pictorial thinking (Model 5). The latter model relates to Maladaptive Daydreaming, a suggested dissociative syndrome with strong ties to the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. These five models point to potential directions for future research, as these theoretical accounts may aid the two fields in interacting with each other, to the benefit of both. Finally, several dissociation-informed paths for further developing clinical intervention in OCD are identified.

“…The relationship between OCSs and dissociation is well established in literature, with extensive evidence in both clinical (Boger et al, 2020; Boysan et al, 2018; Pozza and Dèttore, 2019; Tapancı et al, 2018; Tatli et al, 2018) and nonclinical (Aardema and Wu, 2011; Boysan, 2014; Boysan et al, 2022; Soffer-Dudek, 2014, 2017, 2019; Soffer-Dudek et al, 2015) samples. Nosographic classification systems describe dissociation as a disruption or discontinuity in the normal integration of psychological functions, including consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; World Health Organization, 2022).…”

Accumulating evidence suggests that obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs) are positively associated with exposure to traumatic experiences and dissociative symptoms in both clinical and community samples. The current study was aimed at investigating the relationships between traumatic experiences, dissociation, and OCSs. A sample of 333 community adults (56.8% females) aged from 18 to 56 years (mean [SD], 25.64 [6.70] years) completed measures on traumatic experiences, dissociative symptoms, and OCSs. A structural equation modeling (SEM) framework was used to test if dissociative symptoms mediated the relationship between traumatic experiences and OCSs. SEM analyses showed that dissociation fully mediated the predictive association between traumatic experiences of emotional neglect and abuse and OCSs in the sample. Accordingly, some individuals suffering from OCSs might benefit from clinical interventions aimed at processing and integrating traumatic experiences.
