Abstract
The aim of this study was to explain obsessive-compulsive symptoms according to disgust, anxiety and depression in a non-clinical sample. one hundred students (50 girls, 50 boys) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), Disgust Scale (DS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Analysis of the data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including means, standard deviations, Pearson' correlation coefficients and regression analyses. The results revealed that disgust, anxiety and depression were significantly positively correlated with total obsessive-compulsive scores in both males and females. The results of regression analysis showed checking and doubt symptoms were best predicted by state-trait anxiety, while washing were best predicted by disgust. These findings are in line with the hypothesis of a specific relationship between disgust and at least some kinds of obsessive symptoms.

The research method was descriptive and of the correlation type (structural equation modeling). From among the general population of social media users in 2022, 350 people were selected according to the entry criteria by voluntary sampling method. The tools used in this research included the Revised scale of obsessive–compulsive Syndrome (Foa and et al), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (Bernstein & Stein), Beck Anxiety Inventory & Beck Depression Inventory-II. Pearson's correlation test and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. The results showed that childhood abuse has a direct and significant relationship with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and anxiety and depression play a mediating role in the relationship between childhood abuse and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and overall, the results show that the model fits well. According to the obtained results, it can be said that childhood trauma, anxiety and depression play an important role in the formation of obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
