TI  - The impact of personality on symptom expression in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
PG  - 231-6
AB  - Previous research conducted on the five-factor model of personality (FFM) in 
      obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has demonstrated that community and clinical 
      participants score significantly higher than controls on the domains and facets 
      of neuroticism and extraversion and selective facets of agreeableness and 
      conscientiousness. However, studies have yet to examine the extent to which 
      personality traits, as assessed by the FFM, are associated with the specific 
      symptoms of OCD. The purpose of this study was to examine further the personality 
      predictors of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in clinical participants using the 
      facets of the FFM. Patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of OCD (N = 56) completed the 
      Revised NEO Personality Inventory, the Yale Brown Obsession Compulsion Scale, and 
      the Beck Depression Inventory. Lower scores on openness to ideas were uniquely 
      associated with greater obsession severity, whereas lower openness to actions was 
      uniquely associated with greater compulsive severity. In contrast with past 
      research that has emphasized the association between neuroticism and extraversion 
      and dimensionally rated obsessive-compulsive symptoms, this study demonstrates 
      the specific associations between selective facet traits of openness and clinical 
      obsessions and compulsions. Whereas tendencies toward negative affectivity may 
      confer a nonspecific vulnerability to the development of OCD, facets of openness 
      may impact on the particular expression and severity of obsessive-compulsive 
      symptoms.
