Validity and factorial structure study of the compulsive activity checklist

Psychometric Properties of a Persian-Language Version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised: OCI-R-Persian

“…The original format of this inventory had 62 items concerning specific daily activities rated on a 4-point scale of severity. We used a French version of CAC, which is an abbreviated form of the instrument and contains 19 items centered mainly on checking behavior and rituals (Cottraux et al, 1988). Each item is rated on a four-point (0 -3) scale, therefore the scores range from 0 to 57.…”

“…Many of these measures are based on self-report of symptoms. In a review of different self report measures, Foa, Kozak and Salkovskis (1998) addressed some of the problems and limitations inherent in such instruments as Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (YBOCS; Goodman et al, 1989), Layton Obsessional Inventory (LOI; Taylor, 1995), the Compulsive Activity Checklist (CAC; Cottraux et al, 1988), and the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI; Hodgson & Rachman, 1977). Based on their critical review, Foa and her colleagues (1998) introduced a new obsessive-compulsive disorder scale called the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI).…”

Obsessive‐compulsive disorder: a clinical, neuropsychological and positron emission tomography study

“…Sixteen inpatients (mean t SD age = 44 12 years), 7 women and 9 men, were recruited for the protocol after fulfilling the following inclusion criteria: 1)ages between 18 and 65years; 2)DSM-I11 primary diagnosis of OCD, agreed by 3 psychiatrists (JFA, JLM, EH); 3) score greater than 10 in the Compulsive Activity Checklist (21,22); and 4) good physical health evaluated by clinical examination, laboratory chemistry, and chest X-ray. The exclusion criteria were: DSM-I11 diagnosis of current major depressive episode, drug or alcohol addiction, electroconvulsive therapy in the previous 6 months or presence of gross pathology on CT scan.…”

“…The OC symptoms were rated using the Obsessive-Compulsive Activity Check-List (21,22), which is an observer-rated scale. The other scales used to measure OC symptoms were self-rated by the patients: the Obsessions Target Symptom Scale (21,23) and the Rituals Target Symptom Scale (23,24) (for both scales, a score measuring the time during which the patients suffer daily from OC symptoms was computed); the Lynfield questionnaires (25) for which 2 scores measuring resistance to OC symptoms and interference with daily activities were computed; and the Maudsley OC inventory (MOCI) (26,27), for which 5 scores evaluating total OC symptoms, checking behavior, washing behavior, slowness, and doubting were computed.…”
