Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of Obsessive-Compulsive(OC) tendencies’ automatic inhibitory dysfunction to personal threats stimuli, and to confirm whether any differences of the inhibitory dysfunction exists according to the different range of stimuli with classifying OC tendencies into its subgroups which are autogenous obsession and reactive obsession. In Study 1, OC tendencies group and OC lower tendencies group performed a stroop test under three conditions: (1) Individual threat, (2) Neutral, (3) General threat. In Study 2, the OC group was divided into two different subtypes: autogenous obsession group and reactive obsession group. Subjects which fell into the autogenous obsession group(AOs), control group(Cs) and reactive obsession(ROs) performed directed forgetting tasks using obsession threat stimuli of OC subtypes. The result of study 1, the OC tendencies group, showed reduced inhibition of individual threat material in the stroop test. The result of study 2, In spite of directed forgetting, showed the ROs impaired forgetting for contamination/unpleasant word related own obsession compared to the Cs and AOs, The results of this study suggest that individuals with obsessive-compulsive traits have attentional inhibition dysfunction in obsession-congruent individual threatening words. Also the results of this study reflect the ROs impaired rehearsal inhibition for contamination/unpleasant word. In conclusion, OC tendencies group’s failure to inhibitory control ability undesirable stimuli results in the person being bombed with recurrent unwanted and disturbing thoughts and images. Furthermore, classifying OC tendencies into its subgroups which are ROs and AOs demonstrate the ROs showed impaired forgetting for contamination/unpleasant word. On the other hand, the performance patterns indirected forgetting task using contamination/unpleasant word of the AOs were similar to those of the Cs. These findings support a partial heterogeneity in the OC group and the usefulness of classifying stimuli in an intentionally inhibited study.
