Abstract
⺠We examined the longer-term psychological effects of inducing harm-related intrusive thoughts. ⺠We measured participants TAF beliefs after an intrusive thought induction and one week later. ⺠In vivo ratings of: anxiety, likelihood TAF, moral TAF, and the urge to neutralize significantly decreased after one week. ⺠Negative thought inductions are not associated with longer-term psychological risk. ⺠In vivo inductions provide a safe and non-intrusive way of studying OCD paradigms in a laboratory setting.
