General Description

The AAQ-US is a 12-item context-related self-report measure designed to assess psychological inflexibility in university students. The Portuguese version revealed a two-factor structure [cognitive fusion (items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and experiential avoidance (items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)]. A total score and two subscales scores can be computed by summing the items (there are no reverse coded items).
