Larger than life: overestimation of object size is moderated by personal relevance in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Abstract

Along with other cognitive biases overestimation of threat (OET) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The present study investigated whether OET would not only manifest in cognitive distortions but, also in overestimations of the object size of disorder-related visual objects.
