Using acceptance and commitment therapy to increase self-compassion: A randomized controlled trial
Open accessAbstract
Self-compassion has been shown to be related to several types of psychopathology, including traumatic stress, and has been shown to improve in response to various kinds of interventions. Current conceptualizations of self-compassion fit well with the psychological flexibility model, which underlies acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). However, there has been no research on ACT interventions specifically aimed at self-compassion. This randomized trial therefore compared a 6-hour ACT-based workshop targeting self-compassion to a wait-list control. From pretreatment to 2-month follow-up, ACT was significantly superior to the control condition in self-compassion, general psychological distress, and anxiety. Process analyses revealed psychological flexibility to be a significant mediator of changes in self-compassion, general psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress. Exploratory moderation analyses revealed the intervention to be of more benefit in terms of depression, anxiety, and stress to those with greater trauma history. © 2014.

“ACT’s process of change, psychological flexibility, which is measured by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II; Bond et al., 2011), correlates with the SCS at r = .65”

The citation is attached to the identification of the AAQ-II as a measure of psychological flexibility. The Overview of the present studies explicitly describes developing the AAQ-II as a measure of that construct. The sentence does not attach this citation specifically to the subsequent SCS correlation. (LLM, conf=0.92)

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Self-compassion estimate falls outside its reported confidence interval
MajorThe reported mediation estimate is 2.51, but the upper limit of its reported 95% confidence interval is 2.01. The point estimate therefore lies outside the interval presented alongside it, suggesting that at least one value was reported incorrectly.
“bootstrapped point estimate = 2.51, SE = .86”
“95% CI: .07, 2.01”

“MMRM is a mixed regression model that retains most of the advantages of HLM for an intent-to-treat analysis (Raudenbush & Bryk, 2002) in using all available data from all subjects and taking into account the obtained outcome and missingness, thus reducing the problem of missing data.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
