“…The results of quantitative content validity also showed acceptable content validity of the MPFI-60 items. Confirmatory factor analysis, consistent with previous psychometric work (Landi, Pakenham, Giovannetti, et al, 2021 ; Lin et al, 2020 ; Rolffs et al, 2018 ; Seidler et al, 2020 ; Thomas et al, 2021 ) and the Hexaflex model (Hayes et al, 1999 , 2012 ), yielded a second-order factor structure consisting of six first-order factors for psychological flexibility (i.e., acceptance, present moment awareness, self as context, defusion, values, and committed action) and six first-order factors for psychological inflexibility (i.e., experiential avoidance, lack of contact with present moment, self as content, fusion, lack of contact with values, and inaction). The factor loading values of all indicators were above 0.5 (ranging from 0.51 to 0.89), so they all remained on the scale.…”

“…In addition, assessment of the psychometric properties of an Italian version of the MPFI in a sample of 1587 respondents revealed a second-order factor structure for this scale with good internal consistency ( a = 0.85 to a = 0.94) and measurement invariance within different age, gender, and mental health status groups. The concurrent validity of the Italian version of the MPFI has also been demonstrated by strong relationships between psychological flexibility and inflexibility with depression, anxiety, and well-being (Landi, Pakenham, Giovannetti, et al, 2021 ). Recently, Lin et al ( 2020 ) examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese and Japanese translations of the MPFI in three East Asian countries (i.e., Taiwan, China, and Japan).…”

The Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI) is a new 60-item self-report scale developed to assess the specific components of psychological flexibility and inflexibility proposed in the Hexaflex model of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the MPFI-60 in a community sample of 307 Iranian adults. The original study supported a 12-factor second-order structure consisting of 6 dimensions for psychological flexibility and 6 dimensions for psychological inflexibility. The Persian MPFI-60 demonstrated acceptable semantic and test content, internal structure, correlations with other variables, and internal consistency. It also evidenced in relation to anxiety, stress, depression, and self-compassion. Overall, the results indicate that the Persian MPFI-60 is a psychometrically sound measure in the Iranian context that enables researchers and clinicians to comprehensively assess the components of psychological flexibility and inflexibility within the Hexaflex model.

“…The Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI) is a 60-item self-reported questionnaire assessing psychological flexibility and inflexibility. Previous studies confirmed the two-factor second order model in both the original English MPFI and the Italian MPFI version [ 72 , 73 ]. To limit participants’ burden in questionnaires completion, only the psychological flexibility subscale (30 item) will be included in the present study.…”

Introduction REsilience and Activities for every DaY (READY) is an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based group resilience-training program that has preliminary empirical support in promoting quality of life and other psychosocial outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Consistent with the Medical Research Council framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions, we conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), followed by a phase III RCT. The present paper describes the phase III RCT protocol. Methods and analysis This is a multi-centre cluster RCT comparing READY with a group relaxation program (1:1 ratio) in 240 PwMS from eight centres in Italy (trial registration: isrctn.org Identifier: ISRCTN67194859). Both interventions are composed of 7 weekly sessions plus a booster session five weeks later. Resilience (primary outcome), mood, health-related quality of life, well-being and psychological flexibility will be assessed at baseline, after the booster session, and at three and six month follow-ups. If face-to-face group meetings are interrupted because of COVID-19 related-issues, participants will be invited to complete their intervention via teleconferencing. Relevant COVID-19 information will be collected and the COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress scale will be administered (ancillary study) at baseline and 3-month follow-up. Analysis will be by intention-to-treat to show superiority of READY over relaxation. Longitudinal changes will be compared between the two arms using repeated-measures, hierarchical generalized linear mixed models. Conclusion It is expected that his study will contribute to the body of evidence on the efficacy and effectiveness of READY by comparing it with an active group intervention in frontline MS rehabilitation and clinical settings. Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and at other relevant conferences.

“…Psychological Flexibility. The 30-item psychological flexibility scale of the Italian version ( Landi, Pakenham, Giovannetti, et al, 2021 ) of the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI; Rolffs, Rogge, & Wilson, 2018 ) was used to measure psychological flexibility at Time 1. This scale measures the six psychological flexibility processes.…”
