“…There has already been work demonstrating the association between trauma, disgust and mental contamination (e.g., Badour, Bown, Adams, Bunaciu, & Feldner, 2012;Badour, Ojserkis, McKay, & Feldner, 2014), and there is some indication that the relationship between trauma and mental contamination is moderated by tolerance of negative emotions (Fergus & Bardeen, 2015). In addition, given the high comorbidity between OCD and depression (Overbeek, Schruers, & Griez, 2002), anxiety (Crino & Andrews, 1996), and eating disorders (Altman & Shankman, 2009), it would be anticipated that there would be a close relationship between mental contamination and the psychopathology of each of these disorders.…”
