AB - This research has its goal on finding out the relationship between young adult christians' religiosity and their obsessive-compulsive symptoms by comparing the average differences of obsessive beliefs, OCD symptoms, and their scrupulosity. A total of 282 young adults participated in the study. The 282 participants were devided into non-Christians and Christians. We further divided the Christians into 3 subgroups according to their self-reported levels of religious faith and activities. ANOVA was used to determine whether there were statistically significant differences among the 4 groups in their obsessive beliefs, OCD symptoms, and scrupulosity. The result revealed the following: Compared to other groups, the ‘low religious’ group showed meaningful differences in ‘importance of thinking’ with the low religious group exhibiting higher average scores. With regards to OCD symptoms, 'highly religious’ group showed meaningful differences in ‘obsessing’ compared to other groups, with highly religious groups exhibiting higher average scores. Third, there were meaningful differences between the Christians and non-Christians in their averages of scrupulosity: specifically in 'fear of sin,' 'fear of God,' and the total score of PIOS . The results of this study show that young adult Christians did not differ from non-Christians except in 'importance of thinking’, 'obsessing' and 'scrupulosity.' Based on these results, it can be inferred that religion is not directly related obsessive beliefs or OCD symptoms even when these symptoms are related to religious content.
