Assessing beliefs about the consequences of not just right experiences: Psychometric properties of the Not Just Right Experience-Sensitivity Scale (NJRE-SS).

Although current cognitive conceptualizations of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) emphasize that rituals are performed in order to avoid overtly threatening outcomes, it has also been noted that there are individuals for whom the attempt to correct "not just right experiences" (NJREs) rather than dangerous outcomes per se appear important. This article examines the idea that individuals have differing tolerances for-or sensitivity to-NJREs, in a similar manner as occurs regarding for other experience such as the distinction between disgust propensity and disgust sensitivity. In Study 1, using a nonclinical Italian sample, the NJRE-Sensitivity Scale (NJRE-SS) was created and refined.
