Attention is an important factor in information processing; obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are two main emotional disorders with a chronic course. This research examined the relationship among attentional control and intrusive thoughts (worry, rumination and obsession) in these disorders. It was hypothesized that attentional control is a common factor in OCD and GAD. In addition, we compared worry, rumination and obsession among OCD, GAD and non- clinical participants.
The research sample included three groups: OCD (n = 25), GAD (n = 30) and non- clinical samples (n = 56). Data were collected using the Attentional Control Scale (ACS), Rumination Response Scale (RRS), Pennsylvania State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). Data were analyzed using MANOVA and MANCOVA by SPSS-17.
Multivariate Analysis of Variance revealed that the OCD and GAD groups reported greater deficits in attentional control, higher obsessive-compulsive symptoms, rumination, worry, anxiety and depression compared to the control group.
This research indicated a great attentional deficit in obsessive- compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. However, no significant difference was found between these two disorders.
注意力是信息处理中的一个重要因素；强迫症（OCD）和广泛性焦虑症（GAD）是两种病程慢性的主要情绪障碍。本研究考察了这些障碍中注意力控制与侵入性思维（担忧、沉思和强迫观念）之间的关系。研究假设注意力控制是强迫症和广泛性焦虑症的一个共同因素。此外，我们比较了强迫症、广泛性焦虑症患者与非临床参与者之间的担忧、沉思和强迫观念。
研究样本包括三组：强迫症组（n = 25）、广泛性焦虑症组（n = 30）和非临床样本组（n = 56）。使用注意力控制量表（ACS）、沉思反应量表（RRS）、宾夕法尼亚州立大学担忧问卷（PSWQ）、贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、贝克焦虑量表（BAI）、强迫观念与强迫行为量表修订版（OCI-R）和一般健康问卷（GHQ-28）收集数据。数据由SPSS-17使用多变量方差分析（MANOVA）和协方差分析（MANCOVA）进行分析。
多变量方差分析显示，与对照组相比，强迫症组和广泛性焦虑症组在注意力控制方面存在更大缺陷，强迫症状、沉思、担忧、焦虑和抑郁程度更高。
本研究表明强迫症和广泛性焦虑症存在明显的注意力缺陷。然而，这两种障碍之间未发现显著差异。
