OCD Research
Understanding obsessive-compulsive symptoms beyond a single severity score.
The institute investigates the heterogeneity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and their associations with psychological processes, using multidimensional measurement and quantitative research.
Why symptom dimensions matter
Overall severity can obscure meaningful differences in checking, obsessing, washing, ordering, neutralizing and hoarding. Dimension-level analysis may support more precise research questions and models.
Research approach
We examine established measures, psychological correlates, methodological limitations and opportunities for longitudinal and intervention research. Findings are research results, not clinical diagnoses or individual treatment recommendations.
