Group means are reported, with standard deviation (or SD and range) in parentheses. OCI-R=Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory –Revised. BDI=Beck Depression Inventory.

Higher scores on the OCI-R and BDI are indicative of more OCD and depressive symptoms. Maximum score on the OCI-R is 72. A score of 21 is used as a cutoff, with scores of 21 or higher suggesting the presents of OCD. Maximum score on the BDI is 63.
