Clinical Psychology childhood hoarding childhood OCD parental accommodation Hoarding is the acquisition of and failure to discard belongings. To date, few studies have focused on childhood hoarding. A lacking area of research is the influence of parental behaviors on hoarding. Parental accommodation involves adjustments that aim to lessen or avoid their child’s distress. These behaviors often maintain or worsen anxiety through reinforcement. Although parental accommodation has been widely researched in obsessive-compulsive disorder, to date, no literature exists examining parent accommodating behaviors in childhood hoarding. The current study aimed to investigate similarities and differences in parental accommodation between OCD and hoarding disorder. Participants were primary caregivers of children ages 10 through 17 and completed online questionnaires related to psychopathology and parenting behaviors. Results indicated that no significant models were found between these variables and parental accommodation. Within the models, child hoarding severity was found to predict parental distress over accommodation, and parent extraversion was predictive of less parental accommodation. 2019-02-01 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1546601482680149 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1546601482680149 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
