Introduction: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling disorder characterized by two dimensions: cognitive (presence of repetitive thoughts and intrusive images) and behavioral (obvious impulses and repetitive behaviors) performed to reduce distress or prevent perceived harm. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing intolerance of uncertainty and rumination among individuals with OCD and normal individuals. Method: Based on the objective, this research was of the applied type; in terms of variable control, it was non-experimental; and in terms of nature, it was descriptive and ex post facto (causal-comparative). The statistical population of the present study included all individuals with OCD visiting psychological clinics located in District 3 of Tehran and all students of Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch, in Spring 1402. Using a purposive sampling method, 40 clients with OCD and 40 normal students from Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch, were selected. For data collection, the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (1989), the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale by Freeston et al. (1994), and the Ruminative Responses Scale by Nolen-Hoeksema and Maro (1991) were used. Results: Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate results showed that there is a difference between intolerance of uncertainty and rumination in individuals with OCD compared to normal individuals (P < 0.0001). Discussion: Based on the findings of this research, it can be inferred that there is a difference between intolerance of uncertainty and rumination in normal individuals and those with the disorder, and this result can be useful as a clinical finding for clinicians in this field.
