Abstract
We administered the Tridimensional Personality Questionaire (TPQ) to a sample of 25 individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and 35 normal controls. As predicted, OCD cases scored much higher on the harm avoidance dimension than normal controls. Findings for the novelty seeking and reward dependence dimensions were less dramatic, although compatible with the underlying theory. Despite a theoretical link between the harm avoidance dimension and serotonin-mediated neuropathwaysm we failed to find an association between this dimension and platelet imipramine binding in either OCD cases or controls.
