Abstract
⺠We examined mental contamination in people with OCD symptoms. ⺠Fourty-six percent experienced feeling dirty in the absence of physical contact with a contaminant. ⺠Mental contamination was associated with OCD symptoms and thought-action fusion. ⺠Mental contamination overlapped with, but was distinct from, contact contamination.
