Abstract
Considering the high coexistence of obsessive-compulsive disorder with body dysmorphic disorder the aim of the present study was to develop a causal model of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) with the mediating role of distress tolerance. The design of the current research was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the present study was all the students of Urmia University in the first semester of 2022-2023, 354 of them were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. They completed the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) (Simons and Gaher, 2005), The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale Modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD-YBOCS) (Phillips et al., 1997) and The Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) (Foa et al., 2002). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.AMOS-24 and SPSS-24 software were also used to classify, process, analyze data, and check research hypotheses. Findings confirm the role of obsessive-compulsive disorder in causing symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder. Also, the current pathological model can help to better understand the role of distress tolerance in psychopathology and the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy in people with the spectrum of obsessive-compulsive disorders, including body dysmorphic disorder.
