摘要：Several studies have attempted to establish the variables involved in the etiology and maintenance of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Harm avoidance and incompleteness have been recently proposed as two core motivational dimensions of the obsessive-compulsive symptomatology. The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of harm avoidance and incompleteness in their relation to the obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Thus, a Path analysis was performed on a sample of 267 individuals from the general population (74.5% women). Results showed that the association between harm avoidance and ordering and checking symptoms was largely mediated by the incompleteness, supporting a greater specificity of the latter in the OCD phenomenology. Future studies should confirm this finding in clinical samples.
