Psychometric properties and construct validity of the Obsessive–Compulsive Inventory—Revised: Replication and extension with a clinical sample

Abramowitz, Jonathan S., Deacon, Brett J.·2006·Journal of Anxiety Disorders

Abstract

The present study examined the psychometric properties and construct validity of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory--Revised (OCI-R) with the aim of replicating and extending previous findings, and addressing limitations of previous investigations. Individuals with OCD (n = 167) and other anxiety disorders (n = 155) completed the OCI-R, measures of OCD and related symptom severity, and measures of cognitive variables associated with OCD symptoms. Results indicate that the OCI-R is a psychometrically sound and valid measure of OCD and its various symptom presentations. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a six-factor solution. The instrument also evidenced good convergent validity, and performed well in discriminating OCD from other anxiety disorders. Theoretically consistent patterns of associations between OCI-R symptom-based subscales and OCD-related cognitive variables were found, and five of the six OCI-R subscales corresponded closely to identified OCD symptom dimensions. The OCI-R is recommended as an empirically validated instrument that can be used in a range of clinical and research settings for research on OCD.

  • The OCI-R contains good psychometric properties that have been confirmed for the German version.

    “The OCI-R contains good psychometric properties [74, 76, 77] that have been confirmed for the German version [75, 78].”
  • The OCI-R possesses a stable factor structure and sound reliability and validity, and its factor structure is similar among OCD patients, those with other anxiety disorders, and unscreened college students.

    “The OCI-R possesses a stable factor structure and sound reliability and validity, and its factor structure is similar among OCD patients, those with other anxiety disorders, and unscreened college students (e.g., Abramowitz & Deacon, 2006; Hajcak, Huppert, Simmons, & Foa, 2004; Foa et al., 2002).”

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.
