  • Empirical studies have shown that psychological flexibility and inflexibility are independently associated with different outcomes, such as well-being and psychological distress, and may simultaneously be elevated within individuals.

    “Empirical studies have shown that psychological flexibility and inflexibility are independently associated with different outcomes, such as well-being and psychological distress, and may simultaneously be elevated within individuals.[25][26][27]”
  • Ciarrochi et al. (2014) employed profile analysis and discovered that individuals differed across dimensions of PF (e.g., simultaneously showing high levels of fusion alongside pursuing goals and values), suggesting unidimensional, inverse measurement of PF is likely inaccurate.

    “For example, Ciarrochi et al. (2014) employed profile analysis and discovered that individuals differed across dimensions of PF (e.g., simultaneously showing high levels of fusion alongside pursuing goals and values), suggesting unidi­ mensional, inverse measurement of PF is likely inaccurate.”
  • People may have different profiles of experiential avoidance, being above average on some aspects of avoidance and average or below average on others.

    “Recent evidence suggests that people may have different profiles of experiential avoidance, being above average on some aspects of avoidance, and average and below average on others, and this may have important implications for practice (Ciarrochi et al., 2014).”
  • The intercorrelations of the subscales of the MEAQ-30 (and the 62-item MEAQ) ranged from negligible to moderate in size, consistent with previous research using the 62-item MEAQ.

    “As initial evidence of the distinctiveness of the six dimensions of experiential avoidance, the intercorrelations of the subscales of the MEAQ-30 (and the 62-item MEAQ) ranged from negligible to moderate in size, which is consistent with previous research using the 62-item MEAQ (Gámez et al., 2011; Ciarrochi et al., 2014).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
