“…These findings align with previous research demonstrating that ACT is associated with reductions in adolescents' avoidance (Fang & Ding, 2020;Swain et al, 2015). In addition, our findings are consistent with research showing that generalized pliance is associated with psychological inflexibility in adolescence (i.e., we cohere with research suggesting that targeting psychological inflexibility may promote less problematic rulefollowing and vice versa; Salazar et al, 2018aSalazar et al, , 2018bStapleton & McHugh, 2020). Our high temporal density data also align with Salazar et al (2020) who reported AFQ-Y17 and GPQ-C ratings decreased for seven and four child participants respectively across 11/13 timepoints after an ACT intervention in their randomized multiple-baseline design across nine participants.…”

“…The Generalized Pliance Questionnaire for Children (GPQ-C; Salazar et al, 2018a) assesses generalized pliance via eight items rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (never true) to 5 (always true), with higher scores indicative of higher generalized pliance. Research has supported the factor structure, convergent validity, criterion validity, and reliability of the GPQ-C (Salazar et al, 2018a(Salazar et al, , 2018bStapleton & McHugh, 2020).…”

Using a single-case A-B design with high temporal density assessments, the present study examined the impact of a ten-session group-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) intervention on adolescents’ distress, psychological inflexibility, cognitive fusion, generalized pliance, and perceived ply workability. Six participants aged 16 to 19 years were invited to (i) attend a weekly ACT group, submit ecological momentary assessments daily for 69-days, and (iii) complete standardized questionnaires pre- and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using Hussey’s (2019) R Package for Robust Visualization, Analysis, and Meta Analysis of A-B Designs. In terms of the ecological momentary assessments, avoidance and pliance ratings significantly decreased across time for most participants. Findings regarding perceived ply workability were less consistent (i.e., although ply workability ratings significantly decreased for three participants, the overall effect was not statistically significant). In terms of the standardized questionnaires, across participants, there were overall negligible changes in distress and pliance, while avoidance and fusion ratings decreased from pre- to post-intervention. Results are discussed with explicit reference to the need for future research that identifies the key mechanisms/processes of change underlying intervention effectiveness.

“…Likewise, Salazar et al (2019) showed that the GPQ-C can discriminate between children with learning difficulties and control participants and that GPQ-C scores showed a strong correlation with the performance on the WCST. Lastly, Stapleton and McHugh (2020) have also found that scores on the GPQ-C correlated positively with measures of empathic concern and capacity for interpersonal pleasure.…”

Abstract. Rule-governed behavior is a central concept to explain complex human behavior from a functional-analytic standpoint. Recently, a self-report measure of a functional type of rule-following called generalized pliance has been developed – the Generalized Pliance Questionnaire (GPQ). The GPQ has two versions with 18 and 9 items, respectively. This study aimed to analyze the factor structure and psychometric properties of both GPQ versions in a Spanish online sample ( N = 846). Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the one-factor model obtained an acceptable fit in the GPQ-18, but an inadequate fit in the GPQ-9. The GPQ-18 showed measurement invariance across gender, excellent internal consistency, and convergent construct validity. According to the results, the GPQ-18 showed good psychometric properties in Spanish samples.

“…In terms of an RFT interpretation of PH messaging, consider the following example, whereby a PH message states that everyone needs to be at least one meter distance from others outside of their household, and at all times, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. According to an RFT interpretation, then this rule-based information (stimuli) are organized into a network of relational frames (Stapleton, 2020;Stapleton and McHugh, 2020), whereby word classes (e.g., COVID-19) are framed in coordination (i.e., identifying sameness) with an event class (i.e., the actual COVID-19 virus), and framed in distinction to others (i.e., the act of distancing from others). What is interesting about the RFT account, is that it has a framework for explaining how the function of "distance with others" (distinction relation with others) changes through ToF, in that "distance with others" was neutral, and now given the PH message rule, individuals may be fearful for catching or spreading the virus (if they are not distanced with others) through the consequences of what danger the virus will bring (e.g., death, further long term lock down, etc.…”

Public health (PH) messaging can have an enormous impact on shaping how individuals within society behave, and can ensure it is in a safe and responsible way, consistent with up-to-date evidence-based PH guidelines. If done effectively, messaging can save lives and improve the health of those within society. However, unfortunately, those within Government PH bodies typically have little training about how to effectively represent PH messages in a way that is consistent with psychological theories of cognitive bias, in order to avoid cognitively biasing the public through their messages. As a result of this, inadequate representation of PH messages can result, which can often lead to cognitive bias in those from the public who read or listen to the message information. This can lead to poor decision making of the pubic as a whole, which can then further lead to harm and even death of public members as a result of these poor decisions. One way to minimize the problem of bias in decision making is to explore psychology theories that model how bias can occur from PH messaging, and identify ways in which PH agencies can utilize such approaches to improve the effectiveness of their messages. Previous focus has been largely on behavioral economic theories, however, here, other accounts are offered in addition to these. These include theories of heuristics and theories from the behavior analysis domain, which may increase the predictive power of modeling bias, and have applications for how best to represent PH message information which minimize bias.
