Abstract: (8 Views)
Introduction: Attachment styles and fear of self are important parts of the definition of obsessive-compulsive disorder syndrome. A person with insecure attachment styles sees unwanted thoughts and beliefs as important and dangerous, questions their ideas about reality, and acts out their fear of self, which has been linked to the development and persistence of obsessive-compulsive disorder syndrome. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of attachment styles in the relationship between fear of self and obsessive-compulsive disorder syndrome in master's degree students in psychology at Tehran IslamicAzad University, South Branch (Iran).
Materials and Methods: The present study was descriptive, and its statistical population included all master's degree psychology students studying in 2020–2021 at the Tehran Islamic Azad University, South Branch. The sampling method was non-random and available, and the sample size included 133 master's degree psychology students. This study collected data using the Revised Practical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder instrument, the Self-Fear tool and, the Adult Attachment Styles Scale. The correlation method and SPSS V.24 software were used to analyze the data.
Results: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is associated with high scores in self-fear (0.55), avoidant attachment style (0.85), and anxious attachment style (0.71). This study's results showed that a secure attachment style (0.67) lowers the risk of having obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Conclusion: The mediating role of attachment styles in the relationship between self-fear and obsessive-compulsive symptoms can be recommended in research related to various symptoms and dimensions of obsession.
Keywords: Fear of self, attachment styles, obsessive-compulsive disorder
