摘要:This study aimed to develop and obtained content validity and reliability of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Inventory (OCDI). The OCDI aims to measure levels of obsessive and compulsive thinking and behavior in individuals aged between 18 to 21 years old. The construction of the OCDI is based on the theory of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) pioneered by Aaron Temkin Beck (1976). This inventory contains 16 items divided into 2 sub-scales and each sub-scale contains 8 items. Sub-scale 1: Obsessive, Sub-scale 2: Compulsive. The content validity of the OCDI was evaluated by 6 expert panels comprising academics, psychologists, counseling and education. A total of 60 students from public universities were selected as respondents to obtain reliability scores. Overall validity of the OCDI was moderately high (56.2%). The reliability values indicate moderately high values of reliability with 0.721. Therefore, this study found that OCDI items need to be improved in order to achieve acceptable reliability.
