文献检索没有发现任何研究调查Wegner（1989）的提议，即重复的抑制尝试和反弹机会（放纵周期）导致侵入的升级，提供了一种机制，使不想要的侵入性想法可能发展成为临床强迫症。根据Wegner（1994）的心理控制的反讽过程理论，特质强迫性高的个体会表现出作为放纵周期的函数的思维频率的增加，而特质强迫性低的个体会表现出相应的思维频率的减少。参与者（N = 40）被要求抑制，然后通过两个放纵周期表达个人相关的强迫性侵入性思想。对于高强迫症组来说，在整个放纵周期中，思想没有显著的升级，但低强迫症组在抑制方面明显更成功。结果证实了先前的研究表明，特质强迫对思想抑制的有效性有影响。
A literature search yielded no studies investigating Wegner's (1989) proposal that repeated suppression attempts and rebound opportunities (indulgence cycles) lead to an escalation of intrusions, providing a mechanism whereby an unwanted intrusive thought may develop into a clinical obsession. It was predicted, based on Wegner's (1994) ironic process theory of mental control, that individuals high in trait obsessionality would exhibit an increase in thought frequency as a function of indulgence cycle and that those low in trait obsessionality Would display a corresponding decrease in thought frequency. Participants (N=40) were asked to suppress and then express a personally relevant obsessive intrusive thought through two indulgence cycles. There was no significant escalation in thoughts across indulgence cycles for the high obsessionality group, but the low obsessionality group were significantly more successful at suppression. The results confirm previous research suggesting that trait obsessionality has an impact upon the effectiveness of thought suppression.
