Abstract
The study investigates the hypothesis that obsessional traits may be related to telic dominance (a state in which the individual pursues goals seen by him as essential) while obsessional symptoms may be related to extreme vacillation between telic dominance and its opposite state of paratelic dominance (in which the individual concentrates upon the purely diversionary nature of an activity). Using questionnaire methods and normal subjects, the hypothesis received cautious support.
