The Relationship between Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Five Factor Traits, Gender, and Religiosity-Spirituality in Adults

The relationship between scrupulosity in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and personality is limited. We tested the contributions of gender, religious identity, and scrupulosity to openness and neuroticism using MTurk (N = 230). We found a predicted interaction between scrupulosity and religious identity predicting neuroticism, and a strong gender effect on neuroticism.
