Abstract
Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of modeling the symptoms of Relationship Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (ROCD) based on parent-child relationship quality and perfectionism: the mediating role of metacognitive beliefs in married students.
Method: The research design is descriptive-correlation type and the statistical population includes all married students of Payam Noor universities in Tehran province in 2022-2023. To realize the purpose of this research, 319 people were selected through social networks, especially Telegram, using available sampling method. They responded to the Relationship-Obsessive-Compulsive-Inventory (ROCI), Perfectionism-Inventory (PI), Revised Adult Attachment scale (RAAS) and the short form of Wells' Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30). The structural-equation-modeling method was used to analyze the data.
Results: The fit indices indicated a good fit of data with the model of this research. The results of the research showed that metacognitive beliefs play a mediating role in the relationship between the quality of parent-child relationship and perfectionism with relationship obsessions in couples.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of the quality of parent-child communication and perfectionism and its deep effects on the formation of metacognitive beliefs and its negative consequences in adulthood such as communication obsession, the results of this study can be used in educational programs to inform parents, counseling Pre-marriage as well as psychological interventions for communication obsession in couples should be considered.
