Most of these cognitive distortions are supposed to be non-specifically related to obsessive–compulsive behaviour in general, rather than specific domains of beliefs being related to specific forms of obsessive–compulsive behaviour. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether specific cognitive domains are related to specific obsessive–compulsive behaviours. In this study 305 subjects from the community completed a number of questionnaires assessing specific belief domains, obsessive–compulsive behaviour (Padua-R) and depressed mood (CES-D). Multiple regression analyses provided support for the notion that specific beliefs are associated with specific forms of obsessive–compulsive behaviour (i.e. washing, checking, precision, rumination and impulses). Further, as expected meta-cognition beliefs such as Thought–Action Fusion and Inverse Inference were found to be related to most forms of obsessive–compulsive behaviour. Depressed mood did not affect the results substantially. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
