接受和承诺疗法是一种流行的转诊断治疗方法，它基于人类痛苦发展的中心租户，并因心理脆弱性而加剧。认知融合和经验回避是心理可接受性的两个相互关联的过程。尽管实质性的理论依据，这两个过程相互影响的情绪困扰和精神病理学的关联，认知融合和经验回避心理困扰之间的相互作用还有待于在现有的文献中进行实证研究。因此，我们研究了这种相互作用的影响有关的四个指标的心理困扰（焦虑，抑郁，压力和创伤后应激）在一个大样本的社区成年人通过互联网（N=955）。预测的交互作用，发现在所有四个症状的措施，与认知融合和症状措施之间的显着正相关最强的经验性回避水平较高。这些结果提供了支持的建议，具有高认知融合和高经验回避的个人可能特别容易经历心理困扰。(C)2016年，加入社会科学院。爱思唯尔公司出版All rights reserved.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a popular transdiagnositic treatment approach, is based on the central tenant that human suffering develops and is exacerbated by psychological inflexibility. Cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance are two interrelated processes central to psychological inflexibility. Despite substantive theoretical rationale that these two processes impact one another's association with emotional distress and psychopathology, the interaction between cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance in relation to psychological distress has yet to be empirically examined in the extant literature. As such, we examined this interactive effect in relation to four indices of psychological distress (anxiety, depression, stress, and posttraumatic stress) in a large sample of community adults recruited via the internet (N=955). The predicted interactive effect was found across all four symptom measures, with the significant positive association between cognitive fusion and symptom measures being strongest at higher levels of experiential avoidance. These results provide support for proposals that individuals with high cognitive fusion and high experiential avoidance may be particularly prone to experiencing psychological distress.
