The aim of this study is to replicate the findings from previous research about the psychometric properties of the Mandarin Chinese version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), which assesses the presence of symptoms obsessive-compulsive disorder and the distress associated with those symptoms. The final clinical sample included 80 participants from multiple psychiatric outpatient clinics in China. Participants completed the following questionnaires: the OCI-R, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale-II (Y-BOCS-II), and the Clinical Global Impressions Scale, Severity (CGI-S). The Mandarin Chinese version of the OCI-R demonstrated good internal consistency for the total scale and each subscale. Good convergent and divergent validity was established. The Mandarin Chinese version of the OCI-R demonstrated good psychometric properties. Further research is needed to examine the factor structure of the Chinese version of the OCI-R and the extent to which it aligns with the original version.
