Abstract

It has been found that memory confidence and responsibility are the cause of checking behavior, one of the representative symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder based on previous research studies. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of memory confidence on the checking behavior according to the level of responsibility. The main hypothesis of present study was as follows: The effect of memory confidence on the checking behavior would be significant under the condition of high level of responsibility. Such effect would be in, significant under the condition of low level of responsibility. To test the hypotheses, a 2×2 analysis of variance(ANOVA) with memory confidence(high/low) and responsibility(high/low) as between-participants factors was performed on the checking behavior. Sixty nine undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental conditions. The results of the analysis supported the main hypothesis. The interaction between factors was significant. Under condition of higher responsibility, the checking behavior was higher with lower memory confidence. However, under the condition with lower responsibility, the checking behavior was not different between lower and higher memory confidence. These results suggest that the effect of memory confidence on checking behavior is moderated by the level of responsibility only when the level of responsibility is high. The implication and limitation of this study and direction for future studies are also disussed.
