Comparison of Metacognitive Beliefs and Measures of Executive Functions in Individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Depression with Normal Individuals %K Obsessive %K compulsive disorder Depression Metacognitive beliefs Executive functions %R %X This study was carried out with the purpose of determining the extent of differences in metacognitive beliefs and scales of executive functions in people with OCD and depression with normal people. The study population consists of patients with OCD, depression and normal people. Due to non-interference of the researcher in the variables, the method of this study is causal-comparative. The sample of the study consists of 90 subjects with OCD, depression and normal individuals (each group 30 people) selected by purposive sampling method. The tools used in the study include Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), distress tolerance, Maudsley's Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI) and the Wisconsin test. Data analysis was carried out using analysis of variance and post hoc tests. The result of variance analysis showed that there is a significant difference among groups in metacognitive beliefs and executive functions aspects (p<0.001). Due to the differences between people suffering from OCD and depression with ordinary people in metacognitive beliefs and executive functions, it is necessary to pay enough attention to weaknesses of these variables in these people while treating them. %U https://iase-ijeas.com/article_161582_417b1713cc7c72360c70a506cad4bea5.pdf
