Abstract

The present study examined whether psychological inflexibility and mindfulness, 2 major emotion/ behavior regulation processes, were uniquely and separately related to somatization, depression, and anxiety in a sample of Asian Americans in the United States. One hundred sixteen participants from various Asian nationality backgrounds completed a Web-based survey that included the measures of interest. Results revealed that both regulation processes were uniquely and separately related to somatization, depression, and anxiety after controlling for age and gender. Greater psychological inflexibility was associated with greater somatic, depressive, and anxiety symptoms, and greater mindfulness was associated with lower somatic, depressive, and anxiety problems. Our findings suggest that the extent to which one is unwilling to contact distressful internal and external experiences as well as the extent to which one is aware of the present-moment experience are useful concepts to understand somatization, depression, and anxiety experienced by Asian American young adults.

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.
