Self-report measures of obsessionality, depression and social anxiety in a school population of adolescents.
The results are reported for a non-clinical school population of 252 adolescent subjects, aged 13 to 15 years, responding to the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and the List of Social Situation Problems (LSSP). The scales intercorrelated significantly but appear to measure different aspects of self perception. No significant age or gender effects emerged in any. The results obtained are compared with those of previous studies and the use of the MOCI in adolescent populations discussed.
