The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cognitive reappraisal strategy on cognitive functions in disgust
induction situations among obsessive-compulsive patients. This study was a pre-posttest research design with a
control group in experimental environment. Participants consisted of 44 individuals with obsessive-compulsive
disorder who were selected from mental health clinics of Kashan, Iran. Participants were randomly assigned to one of
two conditions. All participants provided background questionnaires including Yale-Brown Obsessive -Compulsive
Scale (YBOCS), Padua Inventory (PI), Emotion Regulation Scale (ERQ), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and
disgustpropensity and sensitivity scaleand the cognitive function tasks including IowaGambling Task (IGT),
Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Stroop Task (ST).The induction only condition (IOC) as control group had
not received training beside the disgust emotion induction. In post-test phase after watching disgust induction films,
subjects were asked to answer the cognitive tests again immediately after they watched to a minute’s disgust films in
three steps. Covariance analysis tests was used to analyze data and results showed that the cognitive reappraisal
training (CRT)group outperformed in post-test step in IGT, reaction time in ST and the correct answers in WCST.
Accordingly, we could suggest that cognitive reappraisal as an emotion regulation strategy could improve the
decision-making, inhibition and set shifting in disgust induction situation.
