Abstract |
This article examines the relationship between obsessive-compulsive (OC) tendencies and attention to internal states. The subjects were six hundred and fifty seven university students (384 University ...of A, 273 Junior College of B; 170 men, 487 women). We focused on body awareness as internal states. The results showed that obsessive-compulsive tendencies were found in more than 70% of students. And three types of obsessive-compulsive tendencies were founded, which were all OC high group, intrusive thoughts high group and healthy group. As a result of examining the relationship between OC tendencies and attention to the physical and internal state, all OC high group’s awareness of internal states were not low, all OC high group showed a tendency to focus excessively. Therefore, we discussed that it’s essential to think about their attentions to internal states when dealing with the anxiety of people with OC. In the future, we need to repeatedly examine the relationship between OC tendencies and attention to internal states by taking into account the appropriate way of attention.show more
