Background: The symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, quality of emotion regulation, self-efficacy, and resilience play a role as important aggravators based on the research. In addition, these symptoms are experienced in the general population. In this field, there has not been too much research.
Aims: This study is conducted to predict the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in the general population according to self-efficacy, resilience, and cognitive emotion regulation.
Methods: The descriptive-correlation design was used in this study. People between 17 to 70 years old in Tehran were the study population (spring and summer 2019). Among them, 636 people were selected as a sample. The Bill Brown (1989) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Questionnaire, the Garnfsky & Craig (2001) Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Connor & Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003), and the Scherer and Maddox Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1982) were used to collect data. To analyze the data, Pearson and stepwise regression tests were used.
Results: The results indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between other blame, rumination, and catastrophe with the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (P <0.01). In addition, there is a significant negative relationship between acceptance variables (P <0.05), refocusing on planning, reappraisal, perspective, resilience, and self-efficacy with obsessive-compulsive symptoms (P <0.01).
Other blame, rumination, and catastrophe predicted positive symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the resilience and self-efficacy predicted them negatively (P <0.01).
