Algılanan ebeveyn tutumları ve obsesif-kompulsif belirtiler arasındaki ilişkide kişilik inançlarının aracı rolü

The aim of this research is to evaluate the relationships between perceived parental attitudes, personality beliefs, and obsessive-compulsive symptom severity in individuals aged 18-65 years. In addition, the mediating role of personality beliefs in the relationship between perceived parental attitudes and obsessive-compulsive symptoms was examined. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 408 participants, of which 319 were female, 87 were male, and 2 were of the other gender. Short EMBU-Child Form, Personality Belief Scale–Short Turkish Form, and Obsessive-Compul-sive Inventory–Revised Form were used as measurement tools. It was observed that as the partici-pants' perceived rejection and overprotection from their parents increased, their obsessive-compul-sive symptom levels also increased. Perceived emotional warmth and personality belief dimensions of passive-aggressive, obsessive-compulsive, antisocial, narcissistic, schizoid, paranoid; and ob-sessive-compulsive symptom levels were not found to be significant. It was also found that the relationship between rejection and schizoid personality belief was not significant. It is seen that the relations between all other variables are significant. The findings revealed that avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality belief dimensions mediated the relationship between perceived rejection and obsessive-compulsive symptom levels; it also shows the mediating effect of avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality belief dimensions on the relationship between perceived overprotection and obsessive-compulsive symptom levels. It is thought that this study will provide useful information for the etiology and treatment of obsessive-compulsive symp-tomatology in clinical practice.
