description We aimed to investigate OCD symptoms and responsibility beliefs in relation to coronavirus-related anxiety and adaptive and maladaptive behaviors at two different time points. We tested age as a moderator of the relationship between responsibility and outcomes. 159 participants completed the initial online assessment, whereas 56 completed the second assessment, six months later. OCD symptoms significantly predicted coronavirus-related anxiety, adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. Responsibility beliefs predicted the above-mentioned outcomes, but no longer when controlling for OCD symptoms and age did not moderate these relationships. OCD symptoms may represent both protective and vulnerability factors during the coronavirus pandemic.
