“…Similarly, Woodruff et al (2014) reported the significant predictive effect of psychological inflexibility on positive and negative psychological health indicators, such as depression, unhappiness, positive affect, and life satisfaction. The literature also supports the mediating role of psychological inflexibility between different constructs, such as maladaptive schemas and depression, help-seeking and stigma (e.g., Crosby et al 2011;Gaudiano et al 2017;Kurz et al 2014;Mendoza et al 2018). For example, Yadavaia et al (2014) reported that psychological inflexibility was a mediator of change in self-compassion, anxiety, depression, stress, and general psychological distress.…”

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is currently a global health threat attributed to negatively affecting the mental health and well-being of people globally. The purpose of the present study is to examine the mediating role of optimism-pessimism and psychological inflexibility in the relationship of coronavirus stress with psychological problems among Turkish adults. The sample of the study included 451 adults (55% women). Participants mainly consisted of young adults with a mean age of 23.30 years, ranging from 18 to 65 years (SD = 6.97). A mediation model indicated that coronavirus stress had a significant predictive effect on optimism-pessimism, psychological inflexibility, and psychological problems. Further, optimism-pessimism and psychological inflexibility mediated the effect of coronavirus stress on psychological problems in adults. Lastly, optimism-pessimism predicted the psychological problems of adults through psychological inflexibility. These results elucidate our understanding of the role of mediators in coronavirus stress and psychological health problems. The findings are useful in terms of providing evidence for tailoring interventions and implementing preventative approaches to mitigate the psychopathological consequences of COVID-19. Based on the present findings, the potential utility of acceptance and commitment therapy is discussed within the context of COVID-19.

“…For example, Yadavaia and their friends ( 2014 ) pointed out that PI is a mediator of changes in self-compassion, anxiety, depression, stress and general psychological distress. PI mediates also the relationship between depression severity and stigma toward others with depression (Gaudiano et al 2017 ); the relationship between perceived workplace demands and psychological distress (Kurz et al 2014 ); the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and mental health outcomes (Makriyianis et al 2019 ); the relationship between perfectionism and religiosity (Crosby et al 2011 ); the positive associations between self-concealment and distress variables (Mendoza et al 2018 ).…”

College students worldwide and in Turkey face many biopsychosocial spiritual and economic issues, in part due to developmental and contextual factors. Understanding these issues and their relationship with psychological inflexibility, which is the central concept to the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), is an unexplored gap in the literature. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine the mediating and moderating roles of Psychological Inflexibility (PI) in the relationship between Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE) and Psychological Vulnerability (PV), and to set an empirical ground for developing evidence-based research and practices based on ACT. The study group consisted of 389 undergraduate students studying in various departments of a mid-sized urban state university. Regression-based mediation and moderation testing procedures revealed that PI partially mediates the relationship between FNE and PV. Moderating role of PI on the same relationship was not verified. The present findings are deemed to be useful for understanding the relationships of these constructs and developing future mental health research and interventions to address biopsychosocial spiritual issues and enhance wellbeing especially from an ACT perspective.

“…There is now a substantial empirical literature relating to the self-reported experiences of staff supporting people with IDs (see Mitchell & Hastings 2001;Hatton et al 2004;Skirrow & Hatton 2007;Chung & Harding 2009;Mills & Rose 2011;Mutkins et al 2011;Kurz et al 2014). This literature strongly suggests that (however c.f.…”

The perceived absence of a vision for the service, combined with a dominant culture viewed by its members as strongly focussed on bureaucracy and process, potentially compromises the ability of these CTs to respond proactively to the needs of people with IDs. Given the changes in legislation, policy and practice that have taken place since CTs were established, it would be timely to revisit their role and purpose.
