Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aimed to develop the program of intervene adolescent psychological inflexibility and conducted five investigation studies and one intervention study. First, we investigated how experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion which consist of psychological inflexibility influenced adolescent psychological well- being. The results showed that experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion played some important roles in the process of well-being among adolescents. Additionally, we made an ACT based intervention program which can be carried out in the junior high school students’ classroom and examined the effects of the program. The results showed that ACT intervention prevented to increase experiential avoidance, enhanced self-esteem, and reduced depressive symptom, compared to the control group.
