Age (years) | 32.5 | 11.1 | 30.3 | 10.2 | t(67)=0.8, p=0.4 |
Education (years) | 15.9 | 2.2 | 16.3 | 1.8 | t(67)=0.7, p=0.5 |
Biological sex | 32 F/ 14 M | 14 F/9 M | χ2(1)=0.52, p=0.5 | ||
Y-BOCS (sum) | 24.6 | 5.2 | 0.28 | 1.4 | t(55.9)=29.7*, p<0.001 |
SPS (sum) | 8.0 | 3.2 | 0.24 | 0.8 | t(55.0)=15.5*, p<0.001 |
QIDS (av) | 0.73 | 0.46 | 0.15 | 0.18 | t(64.7)=7.4*, p<0.001 |
BAI (av) | 0.80 | 0.52 | 0.07 | 0.14 | t(56.3)=8.9*, p<0.001 |
OCD=Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; SD=standard deviation; Y-BOCS=Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale; SPS=Sensory Phenomena Scale; QIDS=Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms; BAI=Beck Anxiety Inventory.
Levene’s Tests for Equality of Variances revealed unequal variance between the groups for Y-BOCS, SPS, QIDS, and BAI scores; degrees of freedom for these tests are adjusted using Satterthwaite’s approximation. Scores for the Y-BOCS and SPS reflect the sum of individual rating scales; scores for the QIDS and BAI are the average (av) of responses to the individual questions (total average scores can range from 0 to 3).
