本研究旨在调查接受与行动问卷(AAQ-II)在区分经验回避/心理灵活性和具有这种特质的心理幸福感方面的假设结果方面的成功程度。研究采用探索性因素分析的方法，对包含AAQ-II项目的项目库和为测量苦恼和接受/不接受而设计的项目进行分析，以确定哪些因素被识别，以及在哪些因素(S)上AAQ-II项目具有最高的因素负荷。有趣的是，分析发现，AAQ-II中的条目与用于测量痛苦的条目比用于测量接受/不接受的条目具有更强的相关性，而对功能结果的参考最少。这项研究的结果被解释和讨论与AAQ在临床和科学背景下的广泛使用有关，并考虑到该测量在经验性验证精神病理学和治疗的ACT模型方面的中心地位。
The present study seeks to investigate the extent to which the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) is successful in discriminating between experiential avoidance/psychological flexibility on the one hand and the supposed outcomes in terms of psychological well-being of having this trait on the other. This was done using exploratory factor analysis on an item pool containing the AAQ-II items, and items designed for the present study to measure distress and acceptance/non-acceptance, to see what factors are identified and on which factor(s) the AAQ-II items had the highest factor loadings. Interestingly, the analysis found the items of the AAQ-II to be more strongly related to items designed to measure distress than items designed to measure acceptance/nonacceptance with minimal references to functional outcomes. The results of the study are interpreted and discussed in relation to the widespread use of the AAQ in both clinical and scientific contexts and given the centrality of the measure in empirically validating the ACT model of psychopathology and treatment.
