Personality
Published in Mohamed Ahmed Abd El-Hay, Understanding Psychology for Medicine and Nursing, 2019
The hallmarks of this personality are a preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, control, and emotional constriction. These individuals are excessively devoted to work, to the exclusion of friendships and leisure activity, so that they may avoid vacations. People with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder often experience themselves as robots, their emotional lives are constricted and flattened, and they value self-control above all else. Lack of control can lead to an increase in anxiety. They have a marked attention to details and can frequently be successful in methodical, detail-oriented jobs. They are overly conscientious in their morals, and they are miserly with regard to spending money. They also tend to be controlling of others, and they have difficulty delegating tasks, feeling that no one can do the task the way they want it done. Interpersonally, obsessive-compulsive individuals appear stiff, excessively controlled, and emotionally distant and constricted. Some individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are functioning relatively well, especially in their professional lives, while others suffer significant impairment in all domains of functioning.

Different personality characteristics are associated with AN and BN. As discussed previously, anorexics are typically perfectionists, exercising high levels of self-control and harm avoidance, and hold themselves to idealistic standards (Kaye, 2008). Consequently, they tend to be very self-critical. They are paradoxically obsessed with food and eating rituals, yet steadfast in their restraint from eating in their pursuit of weight loss. Many have symptoms of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Because they tend to isolate themselves so that they can pursue their eating and exercise rituals without receiving negative attention, they can exhibit symptoms of avoidant personality disorder (Diaz-Marsá, Luis & Sáiz, 2000).

One population where the study of perfectionism is particularly salient is individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). OCPD is characterised by preoccupation with details and organisation, difficulty completing tasks due to high standards not being met, devotion to work at the expense of other activities, inflexibility, difficulty discarding objects, frugality, and stubbornness (APA, 2013). Additionally, OCPD has been linked with experiencing more negative emotions, being more disagreeable, and having interpersonal implications, such as interfering in relationships (Mike et al., 2018). It has been argued that OCPD is the most prevalent personality disorder in adults in Western countries (Volkert et al., 2018). Using data from the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), Grant et al. (2012) estimated the prevalence of OCPD to be 7.9%.

Moreover, the substantive results are generally consistent with recent meta-analyses (Wilson et al., 2017) examining interpersonal profiles of personality disorders. Prototypicalities of interpersonal profiles generated in the current study for all personality disorders except paranoid and dependent were consistent with meta-analytic profiles. In the current study, paranoid personality disorder did not exhibit a prototypical profile whereas it did in the meta-analysis. In contrast, dependent personality disorder exhibited a prototypical profile in the current study but did not in the meta-analysis. Finally, in both the current study and the meta-analysis, obsessive–compulsive personality disorder did not exhibit a prototypical interpersonal profile. Additionally, angular displacements generated in the current study were generally consistent with the meta-analysis, except for histrionic personality disorder. Histrionic personality disorder exhibited a warm-domineering problems profile in the meta-analysis, whereas its profile reflected warm interpersonal problems in this study. It is possible that histrionic personality symptoms are viewed differently in communal and in individualistic cultures.

Two groups of participants were enrolled for the second study: 102 university students (87.3% female) with a mean age of 23.80 (SD = 2.17) and years of education of 15.67 (SD= 2.68) and 58 individuals (57.1% female) with a primary diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with a mean age of 36.04 (SD = 9.77) and years of education of 13.71 (SD = 3.04). Moreover, the mean age of the total sample (75.6% Female) was 27.91 (SD = 8.30)."The data were collected within a larger study on OC constructs (Sica, 2004). OCD group were in patients (18.96%) or outpatients and were diagnosed according to the Structured Clinical Interview (SCID) for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) Axis I (SCID I; First et al., 1997) and Axis II disorders (SCID II; First et al., 1997) by professional psychologists. The sample presents a comorbidity with all personality disorders in 49% of cases (the majority have an avoidant or obsessive-compulsive personality disorder) and with Major Depressive Disorder in 45% of cases. Individuals with OCD were excluded if they had a current or past psychotic disorder or a current substance use disorder. The sample included: 27,6% female, 82.8% married or cohabitating and 59.6% employed. All participants signed an informed consent before answering the questionnaires and had no incentive for participation.
