prof. Dr. Ok's quantitative study aims to determine the role of personality traits measured according to the Five Factor Personality Scale, while trying to determine the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorders measured by the Dimensional Obsession Compulsion Scale and religiosity measured by the Religion Attitude Scale and the Religion-Islam Scale.
The study was carried out on a sample of 298 non-clinical Muslims aged 16-66 years. prof. Dr. According to Ok's article, the data obtained as a result of the research conducted confirm that there is a positive correlation between obsessive-compulsive disorder scores and religiosity.

Dr. Ok states that the findings presented in the article will contribute to the understanding and treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as to the development of practices by religious educators and religious authorities.
