Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship of
religiosity, guilt, and self-esteem in individuals having obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD). A correlation research design was used. A
purposive sample of 200 individuals (men = 100, women = 100) was
selected from five different Government hospitals of Lahore. Clark-Beck
Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, Religious Activity Scale, Rosenberg
Self-Esteem Scale, and Guilt Assessment Scale for ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder were used for assessment. Data was analyzed using
descriptive, correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The results
indicated that religiosity and self-esteem were inversely correlated with
OCD. The results also showed positive relationship between guilt and
OCD. Among the constructs of guilt, guilt due to washing compulsions,
checking compulsions, and interpersonal conflicts were identified as the
main predictors of OCD. The findings have implication for professional
clinical psychologists.
