The purpose of this study was to examine the relevance of the mindfulness and thought suppression to scrupulosity, or religious obsessions. It was hypothesized that scrupulosity would be negatively associated trait mindfulness and positively associated with thought suppression. It was also hypothesized that thought suppression and mindfulness would mediate the association between scrupulosity and symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). A survey-based study was conducted to test these hypotheses in a large, nonreferred sample. In particular, undergraduate university students completed a number of self-report measures, including the Pennsylvania Inventory of Scrupulosity (PIOS), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire- Short Form (FFMQ-SF), and the White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) in exchange for extra credit. As anticipated, mindfulness was significantly associated with scrupulosity, with a particularly strong and negative association found between the PIOS and the nonjudging subscale of the FFMQ-SF. Further, thought suppression was found to be significantly and positively associated scores on the PIOS, with correlations in the moderate to strong range. Further, as anticipated, mindfulness and thought suppression mediated the relation between scrupulosity and thought suppression. Overall, the findings provide insight into the cognitive processes related to persistent and disruptive levels of scrupulosity.

正念和思想抑制与谨慎的关系。

这项研究的目的是检验正念和思想抑制与谨慎或宗教痴迷的相关性。据推测，谨慎可能与特质正念产生负相关，与抑制思想成正相关。还假设思想抑制和正念会介导谨慎与强迫症（OCD）症状之间的关联。进行了一项基于调查的研究，以检验大量的，未提及的样本中的这些假设。尤其是，大学生完成了多项自我报告措施，包括宾夕法尼亚州的细心度调查表（PIOS），五面体正念问卷-简短表格（FFMQ-SF）和白熊抑制清单（WBSI）作为交换。以获得额外的信用。不出所料 正念与谨慎性显着相关，在PIOS和FFMQ-SF的非判断子量表之间发现特别强烈而消极的联系。此外，发现思想抑制是PIOS评分的显着正相关指标，相关性介于中度到强度之间。此外，正如预期的那样，正念和思想抑制介导了谨慎和思想抑制之间的关系。总的来说，这些发现提供了对与持续性和破坏性的谨慎水平有关的认知过程的洞察力。认为抑制是PIOS评分的显着正相关，相关性介于中度到强度之间。此外，正如预期的那样，正念和思想抑制介导了谨慎和思想抑制之间的关系。总的来说，这些发现提供了对与持续性和破坏性的谨慎水平有关的认知过程的洞察力。认为抑制是PIOS评分的显着正相关，相关性介于中度到强度之间。此外，正如预期的那样，正念和思想抑制介导了谨慎和思想抑制之间的关系。总的来说，这些发现提供了对与持续性和破坏性的谨慎水平有关的认知过程的洞察力。
