  • 소개/요약Psychological flexibility can be described as the ability to maintain present-moment awareness, in which the person is capable—depending on what the situation affords—of changing or maintaining actions to pursue valued goals and interests (Hayes et al. 1999). While psychological flexibility is assumed to promote people’s well-being, it appears also true that a lack of this quality, which can be labeled as psychological inflexibility, is associated with a heightened risk for developing mental health problems (Kashdan and Rottenberg 2010). Psychological inflexibility is thought to be produced by two processes: cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance. Cognitive fusion is the process by which thoughts about an event become merged with the actual event. In other words, thoughts are taken as so truly real that, instead of considering them as mental events that do not necessarily require action, the person is fully dominated by them (Luoma and Hayes 2003; Solé et al. 2016). Experiential avoidance refers to the tendency to avert unwanted thoughts and feelings, resulting in deliberate efforts to change their content and frequency (Hayes et al. 1999; Valdivia-Salas et al. in press).
