Resum

This study examines whether the propensity to experience obsessive, dysmorphic, hypochondriac and eating-related unwanted mental intrusions (UMIs) is a common vulnerability factor for these disorders. A total of 149 university students completed the Questionnaire of Unpleasant Intrusive Thoughts (QUIT) that assesses the frequency of and disturbance caused by the four UMI contents as well as self-reports of symptoms. 26.17% of participants experienced the four UMI contents during the past three months. The scores of each UMI were related to their specific self-report of symptoms and predicted the scores on these self-reports. Among those participants who experienced the four UMIs, 61.53% were at risk of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These subjects, compared to those who also experienced the four UMIs but were at low risk of OCD, reported more negative consequences when they experienced an UMI, regardless of its content. UMIs could be transdiagnostic and common vulnerability factors for different mental disorders.
