    Numerosas investigaciones han intentado determinar las variables implicadas en la génesis y mantenimiento del Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC). Recientemente, se han propuesto la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado como dos dimensiones nucleares motivadoras de la sintomatología obsesivo-compulsiva. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel de la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado en su relación con los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos. Para ello, se realizó un Path analysis en una muestra de 267 personas de la población general (74.5% eran mujeres). Los resultados mostraron que la asociación entre evitación del daño y los síntomas de orden y comprobación estaba mediada, en gran medida, por la sensación de inacabado, apoyando una mayor especificidad de esta última en la fenomenología TOC. Futuros estudios deberán corroborar este resultado en muestras clínicas.

    Several studies have attempted to establish the variables involved in the aetiology and maintenance of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Harm avoidance and incompleteness have been recently proposed as two core motivational dimensions of the obsessive-compulsive symptomatology. The aim of the present study was to analyse the role of harm avoidance and incompleteness in their relation to the obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Thus, a Path analysis was performed on a sample of 267 individuals from the general population (74,5% women; M=27,29 years old). Results showed that the association between harm avoidance and ordering and checking symptoms was largely mediated by the incompleteness, supporting a greater specificity of the latter in the OCD phenomenology. Future studies should confirm this finding in clinical samples.
