越来越多的证据表明，以接受为基础的行为疗法是有效的，其目的是增加对内部经验和价值观一致的行为的接受。此外，实验研究表明，接受减少了痛苦，并增加了参与具有挑战性的任务的意愿。G. Levitt，Brown，Orsillo，& Barlow，2004）。然而，需要研究表明价值观表达对心理功能的积极影响。本研究的目的是评估一个简短的干预措施，在减少焦虑有关的紧张的讲话任务的有效性。与预测相反，从事价值观写作并没有减少预期或任务后的焦虑相对于从事中立的写作任务。然而，自尊显着预测任务的焦虑反应。经验回避和价值的生活也与焦虑的任务反应，虽然这些预测因素的贡献没有统计学意义。关键词：接受行为治疗;价值观表达;价值观书写;焦虑;经验回避。
There is growing evidence for the efficacy of acceptance-based behavioral therapies, which aim to increase acceptance of internal experiences and values-consistent action. Further, experimental studies have demonstrated that acceptance decreases distress and increases willingness to engage in challenging tasks (e. g. Levitt, Brown, Orsillo, & Barlow, 2004). However, research demonstrating the positive effects of values articulation on psychological functioning is needed. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a brief intervention in reducing anxiety related to a stressful speech task. Contrary to predictions, engagement in values writing did not reduce anticipatory or posttask anxiety relative to engagement in a neutral writing task. However, self-esteem significantly predicted anxious response to the task. Experiential avoidance and valued living were also associated with anxious response to the task, although the contribution of these predictors was not statistically significant. Key words: acceptance-based behavior therapy; values articulation; values writing; anxiety; experiential avoidance.
