“…OBQ has three subscales: responsibility and overestimation of threat, perfectionism, and intolerance of uncertainty, importance, and control of thoughts. The original and Turkish adaptations of the scale demonstrated excellent validity and reliability ( Obsessive Compulsive Cognitions Working Group, 2001 , Obsessive Compulsive Cognitions Working Group, 2003 ; Yorulmaz and Gencoz, 2008 ). The Cronbach's alpha value for the total scale score was 0.95 at T0, 0.97 at T1, and 0.97 at T2 ( N = 46) in the current study.…”

“…Item loads of the scale are between 0.47 and 0.83. (Yorulmaz et al, 2019 ). Cronbach’s alpha (α) of the total OBQ-9 was 0.75 and McDonald’s Omega (ω) of the total OBQ-9 was 0.76 in the present study.…”

“…The scale is a 7-Likert type scoring (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree). The Turkish version of the OBQ - 9 was adapted (Yorulmaz et al, 2019 ). The scale of short form consists of nine items and three dimensions.…”

“…There are some scales related to OCD and OCD-related disorders in Turkish (Besiroglu et al, 2005 ; Boysan et al, 2010 , 2015 , 2016 ; Guler et al, 2016 ; Inozu & Yorulmaz, 2013 ; Safak et al, 2018 ; Secer, 2014 ; Trak & Inozu, 2017 ; Yorulmaz & Gencoz, 2008 ; Yorulmaz et al, 2015 , 2019 ; Yucelen et al, 2006 ).

The present study aimed to adapt and validate the Beliefs About Losing Control Inventory (BALCI) in the non-clinical Turkish emerging adults sample. The study group consisted of 549 participants from three study phases and aged between 18 and 28 years and mainly women. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the BALCI Turkish Version (BALCI-TV) confirmed 21 items in three factors. The network analysis findings showed that the items including the factors were together. The results indicated that configural, metric, scalar, and strict invariance across the gender. Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω of the total BALCI-TV were .90. Test–retest correlation result was .89. All results indicated that the BALCI-TV had good psychometric properties. The BALCI-TV can be provided to measure control and beliefs related to control within obsessive–compulsive disorder for Turkish academics and mental health practitioners.

“…The OBQ‐20 has four subscales: overestimation of threat, inflated personal responsibility for harm, importance of and need to control thoughts, perfectionism/intolerance of uncertainty. The OBQ‐20 and its Turkish adaptation demonstrated good psychometric properties (Moulding et al, 2011 ; Yorulmaz et al, 2019 ). The Cronbach's alpha values for the present study were .86 for the initial sample ( N = 479) and .84 for the study sample at T1 ( N = 218).…”

Obsessive–compulsive tendencies may render individuals vulnerable to elevated distress and over‐adherence to safety behaviours during illness outbreaks. The present study investigated obsessive beliefs as a predictor of obsessive–compulsive symptoms, COVID‐19 distress and the exercise of safety behaviours related to COVID‐19 in a community sample. Four hundred seventy‐nine participants responded to a questionnaire battery in March 2020 and 218 individuals participated in a follow‐up assessment in September 2020. Results indicated that baseline obsessive beliefs predicted the exercise of baseline safety behaviours through obsessive–compulsive symptoms and COVID‐19 distress. In addition, the relationship between baseline obsessive beliefs and safety behaviour adoption 6 months later was mediated by later obsessive–compulsive symptoms and COVID‐19 distress. Findings extended prior research on the association between obsessive–compulsive phenomena and psychological changes related to illness outbreaks. The implications for prevention and treatment strategies are discussed.
