Abstract
Although it has been used in a number of small‐scale pieces of research in recent years, there exist as yet no adequate standardization data for the Sandler—Hazari Obsessionality Inventory, a device designed to yield scores for both obsessional traits and obsessional symptoms. The present article describes research aimed at contributing towards a partial standardization of the Inventory using 736 subjects spread over six different samples. Results suggest that obsessional traits and symptoms are present in the non‐clinical as well as in the clinical population, though the Inventory appears able to discriminate reliably between the two. Results also suggest that there may be a low‐level correlation between traits and symptoms in both clinical and non‐clinical populations, and that the presence of unscored buffer items in the Inventory may reduce the risk of clinical and non‐clinical subjects faking good in their responses to it.
