Validation of the German Relationship‐Obsessive Compulsive Inventory: Testing the Factorial Structure, Measurement Invariance, and External Validity

The German ROCI is psychometrically sound, and we recommend its application to assess expressions of ROCD in German-speaking samples, and, thus, to study the prevalence and consequences of ROCD in German-speaking countries and regarding cross-cultural comparisons. We discuss limitations (e.g., lack of longitudinal data) and future directions (e.g., dyadic studies).
