dc.description.abstractThe present study examined the relationship between severity of obsessive compulsive (OC) symptoms and guilt, anger, religiosity, and self-esteem. A non-clinical sample of 129 adults completed the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Guilt Inventory, the Multidimensional Anger Inventory, and the Brief COPE scale. Results showed a weak positive correlation between OCD and religiosity, with no difference in OCD by type of religion. OC symptoms correlated negatively with self-esteem and positively with trait and state guilt as well as stricter moral standards. Under high religiosity, OCD correlated with state guilt which did not reach significance under low religiosity. There were moderate positive associations between OCD and different anger dimensions, even after controlling for self-esteem. For those with stricter moral standards, the relationship between OCD and anger arousal, hostile outlook, and anger-in was higher. Adaptive coping strategies, which associated with lower guilt and anger and better self-esteem, were self-distraction and positive reframing; whereas, the maladaptive coping strategies were denial, behavioural disengagement, religion, and self-blame.
