The present study aimed to
review and discuss the cognitive and metacognitive structures and processes in
the etiology Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Studies concerned cognitive
structures research dysfunctional thoughts and primary negative appraisals in
OCD and use self-report inventories. At the other hand studies concerned
cognitive process research cognitive deficient, information processing problems
or biases and use performance measurements. However studies at the cognitive
level have not explained OCD in an effective way, because of not using proper
measurements, properties of participants and inconsistent results. Thus studies
at the metacognitive level which focuses on appraisals, monitoring and control
of cognitive structures and process. Metacognitive structure studies explain
OCD secondary negative appraisal and metacognition; which appraise, monitor and
control cognitive structure and process by using self-report inventories.
Metacognitive process studies explain OCD executive function; which monitor
control, cognitive process; and use performance measurements. In literature it
is stated that metacognitive level studies explain OCD in more effective way
than cognitive level studies. However metacognitive structure studies and
process studies have some problems because of having same results with using
different measurements, and operational definitions. By the way there is confusion
in literature. Thus in this study implicated further studies taking
consideration both metacognitive structure and metacognitive process.
