Abstract

The cognitive model of OCD suggests that misinterpreting intrusive thoughts as unacceptable leads to increased anxiety and attempts to suppress or ignore the thoughts through avoidance or compulsive rituals. An insidious negative feedback loop develops as one's attention focuses on these thoughts and in turn the unwanted thoughts do not respond to efforts to avoid or suppress. This article is a current review of the research on cognitive processes in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We review research that has (1) empirically validated the theoretical underpinnings of the cognitive model, (2) altered maladaptive cognitive processes through state-of-the-art experimental procedures, (3) refined our understanding of the relationship between obsessive beliefs and OC symptoms and (4) examined how underlying traits (e.g., anxiety and disgust sensitivity) relate to the development and maintenance of OCD. We discuss the clinical implications of this research.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2013.
All research outputs
#13,149,957
of 22,705,019 outputs
Outputs from Current Psychiatry Reports
#783
of 1,185 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#103,847
of 197,766 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Psychiatry Reports
#9
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,705,019 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,185 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.8. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 197,766 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
