TI  - Obsessive-compulsive disorder and the five-factor model of personality: 
      distinction and overlap with major depressive disorder.
PG  - 1205-19
AB  - Research on individual differences in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has 
      focused largely on analogue models with participants experiencing sub-clinical 
      obsessions and/or compulsions. Few studies have examined the association between 
      normal, dimensional personality traits and obsessive-compulsive symptomatology in 
      a clinical sample. The purpose of this study was to examine personality 
      differences in patients with a primary diagnosis of OCD (n = 98) or major 
      depression (n = 98) using the domains and facets of the five-factor model of 
      personality (FFM). Patients completed the self-report version of the Revised NEO 
      Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). When contrasted with community controls 
      (Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and NEO Five-Factor Inventory 
      (NEO-FFI) professional manual, Psychological Assessment Resources, Odessa, FL, 
      1992), participants with OCD were found to differ across the domains (and facets) 
      of neuroticism, extraversion, and conscientiousness and the facets of openness 
      and agreeableness. Further, when compared to depressed participants, those with 
      OCD were found to be more extraverted, agreeable, conscientious and less 
      neurotic. With the exception of the conscientiousness domain (and facets), these 
      significant differences were maintained even after controlling for depression 
      severity. These results highlight the unique associations between trait domains 
      and facets of the FFM and OCD.
