Experimental manipulations of responsibility: An analogue test for models of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Abstract
Several authors attribute excessive responsibility a predominant role in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) [Salkovskis, P. M. (1985) Behaviour Research and Therapy, 23, 571-583; Rachman, S. (1993) Behaviour Research and Therapy, 31, 149-154; van Oppen, P. & Arntz, A. (1994) Behaviour Research and Therapy, 32, 79-87]. The present studies aimed at demonstrating the link between different levels of perceived responsibility and checking behaviors by experimentally manipulating responsibility in non-clinical Ss. In the first study, a sound recognition task was used to compare checking behaviors in Ss with high (HR) and low (LR) perceived responsibility. Only one variable was significantly different, Ss from the HR group reporting more anxiety during the task than Ss from the LR group. Results did not support a link between responsibility and checking behavior. In a second study HR and LR Ss were compared on a manual classification task. Subjects from the HR group hesitated and checked more, and reported more preoccupation with errors and anxiety during the task than Ss from the LR group. Since perceived severity of the outcome was the most variable affected by the manipulation, the implications for current models of OCD are discussed and an alternative explanation is attempted. Finally, clinical implications are examined and suggestions are made for future directions of research.

“Indeed, the role of proneness to inflated responsibility and fear of guilt in the development and maintenance of OCD has been well documented (Arntz et al., 2007; Ladouceur et al., 1995; Mancini et al., 2004; Mancini & Gangemi, 2004; Melli et al., 2017; Rachman, 1993; Salkovskis, 1985; Shafran et al., 1996; Shapiro & Stewart, 2011; Steketee et al., 1991).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
