child behaviours during a family discussion task. 24 children with OCD (mean

13.13) and their parents participated in this study. Dyads
discussed an ambiguous scenario for

of autonomy granting and overinvolvement, as well as parent
–
child behaviours of warmth, withdrawal,
aversiveness and con
fi
dence were independently coded along with parent and child enhancement of
responsibility for solving the problem. Parents in OCD dyads were observed to be signi

cantly more
aversive than control parents. Children with OCD were signi

cantly less warm and more withdrawn than
control children. Irrespective of group membership, parents enhanced their child's responsibility more
than their own when generating solutions. These

Inflated responsibility is a well-established belief domain relevant to the development of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and is proposed to develop during childhood (Salkovskis, P.M., Shafran, R.,Rachman, S., & Freeston, M.H. (1999). Multiple pathways to inflated responsibility beliefs in obsessionalproblems: possible origins and implications for therapy and research.Behaviour Research and Therapy,37(2), 1055–1072). However, parental enhancement of such beliefs have rarely been examined. This studyexplored the proposed pathways of development for responsibility biases in paediatric OCD by ex-amining parent–child behaviours during a family discussion task. 24 children with OCD (meanage¼12.96), 20 control children (mean age¼13.13) and their parents participated in this study. Dyadsdiscussed an ambiguous scenario forfive minutes with the goal offinding a solution. Parent behavioursof autonomy granting and overinvolvement, as well as parent–child behaviours of warmth, withdrawal,aversiveness and confidence were independently coded along with parent and child enhancement ofresponsibility for solving the problem. Parents in OCD dyads were observed to be significantly moreaversive than control parents. Children with OCD were significantly less warm and more withdrawn thancontrol children. Irrespective of group membership, parents enhanced their child's responsibility morethan their own when generating solutions.
