Abstract

This study was purposed to verify relations of self-ambivalence, thought-reality fusion, and obsessive-compulsive tendency, and the interaction of self-ambivalence and thought-reality fusion. The association was investigated between self-ambivalence, thought-reality fusion and obsessive-compulsive tendency, including intrusive thoughts, appraisal and control strategies to them. Before that, the Self-Ambivalence Measure (SAM) was translated into Korean which was validated to measure self-ambivalence. A total of 314 university students and graduates responded to the questionnaire, which contained Self-Ambivalance Measure (SAM), Thought-Reality Fusion Scale (TRFS), Revised Obsessional Intrusions Inventory (ROII), shortened form of Interpretation of Intrusions Inventory (III), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Self-Esteem Scale(SES). Relation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The results were as follows: (1) self-ambivalence and thought-reality fusion were related significantly to obsessive-compulsive tendency and the relations were significant, even after controlling the variables, such as self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. (2) Self-ambivalnce and thought- reality fusion had significant main effects on obsessive-compulsive tendency, which includes intrusive thoughts, appraisal and control strategies even after controlling the variables, such as self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. (3) The interaction of self-ambivalence and thought-reality fusion was not significant to the effect on the obsessive-compulsive tendency. Additionally, implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
