Scrupulosity is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) characterized by a tendency to have persistent doubts about God, sin, and the adequacy of one's religious behaviors and devotion. To date, no published studies have compared scrupulosity in high- and low-religious Muslim and Christian samples. In the present study religious school students as well as high- and low-religious university students in Turkey and Canada were compared on the Penn Inventory of Scrupulosity (PIOS), Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ-44), and symptom measures of obssesionality and negative affect. Between-group comparisons revealed that the highly religious Turkish sample scored significantly higher than the highly religious Canadian students on the PIOS Fear of God but not the Fear of Sin subscale. Separate multiple regression analyses revealed that the Clark-Beck Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (CBOCI) Obsessions subscale, OBQ-44 Importance and Control of Thoughts subscale, and guilt were significant unique predictors of PIOS scrupulosity. These findings suggest that subtle differences exist in how scrupulosity is manifested in Islamic and Christian believers.
谨小慎微是一种强迫症（OCD）的表现形式，其特点是倾向于对上帝、罪恶和自身宗教行为和虔诚的充分性产生持续的怀疑。迄今为止，还没有发表的研究比较过高虔诚和低虔诚的穆斯林和基督教样本中的谨小慎微现象。在本研究中，土耳其和加拿大的宗教学校学生以及高虔诚和低虔诚的大学生在Penn 谨小慎微量表（PIOS）、强迫性信念问卷（OBQ-44）以及强迫性和消极影响的症状测量上进行了比较。组间比较表明，高度虔诚的土耳其样本在 PIOS 对上帝的恐惧量表上的得分明显高于高度虔诚的加拿大学生，但在对罪恶的恐惧量表上的得分没有差异。单独的多元回归分析表明，Clark-Beck 强迫性量表（CBOCI）的强迫观念量表、OBQ-44 的思想重要性和控制力量表以及内疚感是 PIOS 谨小慎微的显著独特预测因素。这些发现表明，在伊斯兰和基督教信徒中，谨小慎微的表现方式存在细微差异。
